Most extremist VP pick EVER (In this case it is actually true)
Every candidate these days is the "most" in history.
But Ryan really is, in relative terms, the most extreme ideologue running mate ever. Or at least for the last century+. (I do not know why Henry Wallace 1940 is not on this list... he was kind of a red and I was curious to see where he ranked. And no Agnew... hmmm. Anyway, it ain't my chart, but it's amusing to look at.)
