He is going to be linked to the big loser team of 2012 and Jeb and Christie will not be bothering with him in 2016. He just saw his future as a Foxnews commentator and he isn't thrilled about being Palin's replacement.

They better start signing their kids up for tacky reality programs A.S.A.P.!

while the idiots in the audience were cheering you can tell that Ryan knew this wasn't helping them at all.

Or he's busy worrying about how so many people are making speeches for being nominated in 2016. That's gotta be unsettling after the face landing he made after being picked as VP.

...the wife of Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick spent a decade in Washington herself, first as a congressional aide and then as a corporate lobbyist, whose clients included the cigar industry, a logging company, drugmakers, the health insurance industry and a nuclear power plant.

It shows they aren't all that savy about being on prime time. I'm sure those are his expressions on the Congressional floor. And that's her normal expression when he comes home and tells her all about his exciting day making anti-abortion legislation.

and his wife looks like she's cringing.

Weirdest speech ever. This even beats Mark Sanford's speech after he's been off in South America with his mistress...
