Desperate, creepy move. They see polls, have written off 2012, and are introducing the new blood as they have in the past ala Palin, Quayle and Nixon.

No cuddly family and fabulous abs can offset Ryan's inherent Ayn Rand viewpoint, condescension or creepy Eddie Munster looks.

Funny that Ryan looks like Romney. And Romney staffs with people looks like him. And Romney's sons married women who looked like their mother.

Did I mention he's creepy?

I remember him really lighting a fire the GOP two years ago, but was controversial with the old guard (some eco plan that strayed from the typical republican rhetoric, if I recall?). Will he be able to keep heat up the race? I'm not as familiar with him as I should be.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Like Palin, this will incite the far right and the far left. Like Palin, he will overshadow the top of the ticket. Unlike Palin, he's a smart, accomplished public servant (with whom I violently disagree on almost every issue). The Ryan budget will become the focus of the campaign. This should be a losing proposition for the GOP, but they've been very succesful in the past by counting on Americans voting against their own interests.

Creepy is the right word. What was with the ill-fitted suit jacket and the wiping of his forehead with his hand throughout the speech? Personally, I don't think he made a very good first impression. He came off as unpolished. (And as big of a douchebag as Romney.) And I loved how Romney screwed up the introduction by announcing Ryan as the next President of the United States. (Although, to be fair, Obama did the same thing.) After the inevitable initial bounce, once all is said and done, I doubt that Ryan will do much to boost the GOP ticket. He's really kind of a ho hum choice.

He should have picked Jack Ryan. Or Jake Ryan. Sure, they don't exist, but does it even matter?

He is really creepy looking. Honestly, if we were going by looks alone and my own judgement, he screams the next politician for a sex scandal. That is just my opinion.

I blew Paul Ryan for some crack while his Muslim ex-wife was having a late term abortion a couple years ago.

Do you think anyone in the media would be interested in my story?

He just seems like a douche bag to me. At least he's not hiding a pregnant teenage daughter. Wonder who will play him on SNL?

Marianne--I thought EXACTLY the same thing. He SO has that squeaky-clean-surface-barely-covering-a-fetid-maelstrom-of-sexual-deviance look. Don't get me wrong--I LOVE that look. But faces like Ryan's usually illustrates newspaper and magazine articles about men whose political careers disappear into a vortex of hookers, drugs and freezers full of body parts.

You think, what do you want? You think, make a decision...

It's too small for Bill Hader. They'll hire someone to fill Andy's spot, but they might not give him a politician role like this this soon and this close to the election.

If Sudeikis leaves, then Hader will take over Romney.

Two things:

1) Romneycare in Massachusetts (which right now is a blue state) is similar to Obamacare

2) Ryan does not like either
This will be fun

The last time Ryan was on the scene the media and everyone fawned over him because he exercises! Daily! That must make him hot! Like a middle-aged Eddie Munster!

He gives me the willies. His plans for the nation give me night sweats.

Well apparently not, since it was leaked last night anyway.

Yeah--I think I read somewhere that they are converting the VP announcement app into a physical fitness app. Ryan is going to post his daily workout, cardio plan and diet, along with occasional fitness tips. Plus some great ideas for keeping your pony healthy when being flown overseas. Private, of course--people who fly their ponies commercial are just beneath contempt.

I am honestly shocked over your remarks - stiffling a laugh

This is like critics reaction to a Wildhorn show.

I know his big thing is cutting entitlements, but what else is in his bag of tricks?

The choice surprises me. Ryan is known for being fiscally oriented as opposed to socially conservative. (Not that isn't a conservative, but in respect to Huckabee or Santorum for example)

I thought that Romney would choose a vocal right winger.

....but the world goes 'round

We all stifle a laugh at every single one of your remarks roxy. At least we try. Usually they're too stupid hold back the chuckles.
