Here’s the thing about Ryan . . .I like him. Really do. However, I think he makes Romney’s chance pretty much impossible.
MAYBE if Romney had the upper hand in this race going into this pick. Far from it. The MSM is going to CRUCIFY Ryan. Romney’s almost dead anyway so I guess he had to try a Hail Mary.
Quite frankly, I think the GOP elite now realize they stand no chance in November and that they are positioning Ryan for 2016.
I think you may be right. Another possibility is that they may have made Ryan a sacrificial lamb in order to preserve the political viability of others like Martinez and Rubio who they may want to run in 2016 or beyond and see as better overall candidates. They surely don’t want them associated with a blowout loss.
I sure hope we are wrong, but I do think this pick turns the election sharply Obama’s favor. Romney may wind up winning fewer states than McCain, and I never would have thought that possible in this cycle.
Romney and Ryan just better make darn sure they can explain this and not wimp out and let the satans in the media paint him the way they want to. It’s time to get nasty with the press and the liberals.
Yeah he should have chosen a liberal. That would really get stuff going.
FR is such a goofy place. Supposed conservatives want a conservative for VP then moan that it’s too much!
They scream about the MSM, then they act afraid of them.
Will Romney do to Ryan what mccain did to Palin?
As for Romney picking Ryan, it wouldn’t matter who he picked. The media already had their talking points written on every possible VP candidate.
LOL, the Kenyan is going to get slaughtered but at least you’ll have your dreams.
