That's true but it overlooks a couple of points. First, Romney will be judged by his choice and, trust me, people vote for Romney.
But more importantly is the fact that Romney needs someone competent in the White House who can push his budget/agenda through Congress. Is there anyone better qualified to do that than Paul Ryan. Methinks not.
Remember when Bush chose Cheney? Did that help Bush win? I don't think so. Cheney was "divisive". But did he help Bush run the White House? You betcha, Big Time. So it will be with Paul Ryan. An excellent choice.
I watched part of the Romney festivities/announcement speech. It was the first time I saw the Mittster so energized ....it was good to see. Hoping Ryan will light a fire in the campaign and stay on message ...he has it in him. :)
