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

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.

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...
