I’m hoping you’re right.

Perhaps Ryan will be the “brains” providing input without drawing fire.

Everything about this “committee” has bad/failure written all over it. Look at who the Senate democraps have picked as their representatives.

Anybody that might have a shot at the VP slot in 2012 or even the presidency in subsequent years I would advise to stay the h-ll away from it.

I expect that when the committee totally deadlocks into failure, some other kind of 'deal' will be created to replace the committee.

According to Fox this morning, Ryan ASKED not to be put on the committee.

As he has impressed me so far as a bright guy, I find the story completely believable. The ‘committee’ appears to have only two possible outcomes - fail or sell us down the river. (Well I guess three possible outcomes since I would never put it past the politicians to find a way to do both.)
