Ryan is a RINO & the ultimate washington insider.. There are better choices out there.

Ryan has about as much "POP" as my grandpa's tool without a blue pill. If this is what we have to offer...OMG. Wisconsin isn't a battleground state to speak of - if thinking strategically why not Portman?

Wisconsin isn't a battleground state to speak of

Take a good look at the Governor's recall election, and the reasonably small Obama margin, and I do think it can be picked up. Of course it's a little different when you have someone that doesn't have a statewide office, but it's pretty disastrous for Obama if he loses Wisconsin.

If Portman were selected, 95% of the country wouldn’t have a clue who he was... maybe more than that. I like Portman, but he really won’t energize the electorate. I will say however, it’s pretty sad things have come to that... but you have to do what it takes to kill the socialist effort we face right now.

Because Portman is as dull as dish water. I live in Ohio, voted for him AND sent him fifty bucks for his election and I couldn't pick him out of a crowd. Neither can anyone else.

He is also GWB’s former budget director. The LESS we bring up GWB the better, weather that is fair or not it is true.
