No he is not, he’s an IDIOT. he can read a teleprompter with only an occasional problem. Soetoro is an idiot and you will never get me to say anything good about him because there isn’t a single thing. He’s just a puppet.

Seems to be a few folks on this thread painting him and the dems as the second coming of Christ as campaigners. I don’t see it out of any of them. Biden vs. Ryan in a debate? C’mon!

I don't think that Ryan is boring at all. He speaks well and has excellent command of the issues. The most "exciting" thing about a politician is the enthusiasm he can bring out in others. If the pick is Ryan, he will bring out many conservatives who are holding their noses and voting for Romney. Ryan is also a Catholic and that group feels under siege right now with Obama's HHS rulings, and I bet many moderate and even Dem Catholics will be tempted to vote for Ryan.

I agree that McDonnell has a better resume (successful governor, Lt. Col in USA/USAR, etc.), but Romney and McDonnell together is a bit too similar appearance-wise (Romney is 65 and McDonnell is 58). Ryan adds some youth to the ticket, and I believe that he and Scott Walker can deliver Wisconsin for the Rs.

You are correct. He has shown zero evidence of any above average intelligence and I am amazed at the number of people here who because the media pounds it out daily, believe he is intelligent and a wonderful speaker.
