1. There has been much discussion this week that they are going their separate ways....

Robme doesn't want to be tied to Ryan's extremist views on abortion or his proposed budget.....

So he is distancing himself from Ryan.

Ryan supposedly has a nickname for Robme of "Stench".

True or not they are sleeping in separate bedrooms.......

This is reminiscent of the 2008 race except Ryan is probably the smarter and more cunning politician.

Either way they are not perceived by the voters as a team. That can only be good news for Obama/Biden that, despite their historical differences, make a great partnership.

to tell us that it was (in a Joe Pesci voice, "Supposedly Anyways" really all a big big joke and how he couldn't believe we did not get the joke. HAHAHA... It all rang very true to me, sorry Roger.

...at Romney for tanking the campaign. Ryan had a solid reputation and was a rising Republican star. I bet he thought that being a veep candidate would launch his political career into the stratosphere. If they won, he could someday run for pres. If he lost--he would still gain from being a veep candidate.

Holy buckets have things hone haywire. Romney's colossal failures have dented Ryan and have forever linked him with this train-wreck campaign.

Because Ryan is a narcissist, he won't see that his demise isn't entirely Romney's fault. He most likey loathes Romney and blames him for the disintegration of his reputation. I bet they hate each other by now.

It's possible that Ryan could lose his House seat.

I wonder which insiders are taking notes and planning on writing a book about this campaign's failures? This is far worse than McPalin--and the movie based on that campaign was riveting. The story behind the Romney/Ryan disaster campaign I'm sure is book-worthy!
