I think rmoney's ryan pick will be fun fodder for the President and Vice President. I wonder if the gop can dis-inherit enough voters in FL to overcome this pick?

EC
(12,287 posts)he's never had to debate anyone with any smarts. The only guy that ever ran against him was a bit of a nut, so I don't even remember if there has even been any debates. So I'm guessing he's going to be just like Rmoney...glass jaw and easily called on lies.

Just what the Republican Party needed.

(1,180 posts)that Ryan is a House leader that has a 9% approval rating.
Tie that to his budget proposal and to the rest of his uber-right wing positions, and you can see why the boys in the WH are laughing.

President Obama should play a game of jacks and just let Dubya Mitt keep on talking.

(7,234 posts)I was absolutely, positively, 100% sure that the 2010 mid-terms would send Republicans packing. After all, I thought, any idiot can see that the Republicans are doing NOTHING but obstructing EVERYTHING! I am still trying to recover from the image of Speaker Pelosi handing the gavel over to that sop, the Boner.
Think Kasich, Cristy, Walker, Scott, Snyder, Corbett, et al. and never underestimate the ability of "the American People" to be fooled or the number of people in this country who would rather work for starvation wages (while the rich get richer) than see Obama in the White House (psst...he's Black).

(12,233 posts)He may have a gaffe or 2 here or there, but Joe is a salesman. He's good. He had to debate dumbass Palin, a woman, without looking like an attack dog. I think that was harder to pull off (seeing she was a virtual unknown) than Ryan, whom he has probably dealt with a few times in DC.
Don't forget, Ryan has never been in the private sector... He has been in DC for a long while now.
