I wish that Romney would select Paul Ryan as his running mate

[WI_DEM]

two reasons why:

1) It connects Romney to the Ryan Budget in a big way with its cuts to Medicare and Social Security.

2) With Ryan not running for re-election to congress Dems have a fair shot at his seat.

1. Not likely

I suspect Romney is going to nominate someone safe, but camera-friendly. Palin with an IQ in more digits than one, gender unimportant.

We have the "black guy and the old guy." Never mind that they are a thousand times better for the country. Fox and Fiends (and therefore the Foxsuckers) won't care. Wealth you'll never have, privileges you couldn't dream of, and a circle of "pals" who can order you around because together they have more money than most medium sized countries---all nicely packaged in a media ready-to-eat TV dinner. Too much of America goes for that.

Romney will go for the hair, not what's under it.

2. They are stupid..but not that stupid..

Ryan would be the antidote for all who see little difference between the parties. Ryan brings home the issues to all those who still think "The Republicans would never do that..."

3. Yes... I'll have the double vanilla with nuts on top!

The perfect image of 1950's political team.

4. Funny You should say that

Ryan Is now being vetted.

I say please oh please Romney pick him.

5. In our dreams. I don't think it'll happen...for a superficial reason.

They look too much alike, except that Ryan looks like a younger Romney. They both look like the groom on top of a wedding cake. Perfect suits, stiff backs, thick dark hair (Romney is now salt & pepper), Ken-doll-like, straight pointy noses.

OTOH, Ryan is certainly more exciting that some of the other white bread choices Romney is considering.

Still, I think they'll go with someone who isn't as much like Romney as Ryan is, on a superficial level.

On a deeper level, they're very different, but people won't notice that.

6. I Miss Sarah Palin hope they choose her.

7. It's too bad cuz I was looking forward to referring to Ryan

as "that guy that proposed getting rid of Medicare." I believe that is all we would have to say to get huge numbers of people to rise up and vote against the ticket! Certainly seniors or near seniors would have a sh*tfit on the spot...
