Paul Ryan gets booed at AARP convention (VIDEO)

Rep. Paul Ryan talked Medicare at the AARP Convention in New Orleans, but the crowd wasn't receptive to his ideas. Ed Schultz talks to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., about the Ryan speech and more.

Remember the media had an orgasm when Ryan was first chosen a month ago? They talked about how charismatic he was and what a huge impact he could have, and some people even said they thought he was really good-looking. It was true that compared to Romney, he did have more personality and provided some excitement to a dreary ticket the way Palin did for McCain in 2008.

But if Ryan continues to come across in the smarmy way he did at AARP, he is going to turn off Seniors.
