A ryan administration.

Another clue as to how stupid romney is.

Just why does he think ryan would run with him? ryan hates romney. ryan is a crazed ideologue who is supported by the craziest wing of the republican party. Why would he soil his soul by standing with a politician that he can't stand?

Within two years, ryan and his supporters see him in the oval office. It would be a little dramatic to see poison in white house soup, or a hit squat in the west wing. But as a billionaire, romney has broken so many laws and compromised himself so much that it would be simple for the tea-party funders to force him into retirement or even have him impeached.

Sure, it sounds a little tin-foil hat like, but it is the only way for someone as crazy as ryan to become commander in chief.

If romney hasn't planned for this, he is simpler than even he appears.

Just wondering.

2. Not sure about your theory but isn't it time to bring back

the idea that Ryan is NOT ready for the job any more than Mitt is? Wasn't that a key to making sure McCain lost? With Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain sunk his boat once people realized what a dimwit she was and how unprepared she was to assume the Top Job if something happened to McNasty.

We need to bring that subject back up ....front and center. Ryan is not ready for the job and therefore is a deal breaker for anyone thinking of voting for Romney/Ryan ticket. As sick as he looked last night, who knows how long Mitt would last?

5. I agree that we haven't gone after this tack deeply enough.

I just think that the tea party wanting a president they can never have is something to think about. There is nothing in their behavior that would preclude them from doing anything to get their way.

3. Battleground Wisconsin is so polarized, death threats and vandalism aimed at campaigns and activists

yeah-it's a great place to be right now for anti-fascists. We are making history here daily.
Wisconsin is a political paradox, isn't it?
