I meant to post this to Politics/Elections, not political humor.

Paul Ryan - The candidate who sleeps on a cot in his Congressional office.
VS
Harry Reid - Who’s now a multi-millionaire and stays in the Ritz Carlton.

Which of these men is most like us, Democrats.

I know it’s hard, but think about it.

Ryan may be a good man and a man with ideas. But who picks a VP for ideas? Biden hasn’t had an idea in the past decade or two. Romney has just handed Obama four more years on a platter. VP is picked for image and votes. The image is too WASP. Sorry, I am one, but there it is. Against our semi-black president you shouldn’t look too white. It’s not hip. The unthinking and hip vote, the same vote Obama got before, is going for him, along with a bunch of union folks. Ryan brings only votes Romney already had.

Dems are cartoon campaigners because that is what their simple minded constituency understands.Dems have already floated ads accusing Romney of killing a unionist steelworker’s wife. Now for the ads featuring Ryan throwing the steelworker’s mother off a cliff.

These types of picks rarely end well. When we think back on the “bold” or “unexpected” picks in history, they rarely have good outcomes.

That may be true, but I can't remember such an "anyone but the incumbent" sentiment since Jimmy Carter in 1980. That has to be factored into the predictions, and Trende isn't doing that.
