We’re not voting for Ryan. I would embrace him in a NY second if he were at the top of the ticket. But he isn’t. Willard is. And as such, willard sets the priorities and policies.
An Doug are assuming the VP would have zero influence on the President in discussions about such matters.
As for myself, I have yet to vote for the perfect politician in 40 years of casting votes.
In 2012, the choice has now come into undeniable focus, and it is time to choose for us and our posterity.
