This has to be one of the lamest VP choices I have ever seen.

[BlueStater]

Yep, right up there with Quayle and Palin. I guess I shouldn't have expected any better from a fucking cowardly, desperate weasel like Mitthead.

[Nye Bevan]

1. What choice would not have been lame?

Not trying to be snarky, I just can't think of anyone he could have picked who I would not consider to be a lame choice.

2. Picking Portman or Pawlenty would have been exceedingly less lame than this.

Yes, both of them have the combined charisma of tree bark but at least they're not completely laughable picks. Picking this Wisconsin bozo simply reeks of total desperation like the Palin choice did.

5. His campaign would agree, no doubt.

But, they were in a corner and about to screw the down ticket votes. No room left for a safe pick. Their candidate simply wasn't strong enough for one.

3. yep

You said it.

4. Like they said on MSNBC

This Romney making a desperate Hail Mary pass.

[NYC Liberal]

6. On the plus side, a humiliating loss will hopefully take Ryan out of commission

and knock him out as a serious candidate in the future.

So glad he's hitching up to the Romney train.

7. So I guess they don't give a damn about foreign policy

because Ryan brings nothing to boost those creds. So what have we got? An arrogant, entitled, thin-skinned multi-millionaire and a so-called devout Catholic who worships an atheist whose budget his very own church has called an immoral document. Wow. Congrats!

We might just take back the House. It worked for Kathy Hochul.

[Raine]

8. Yup this rates up there or down there with the Palin pick, has "desperate to hang on to base"

written all over it!
