He's also a white male, making that two white males representing the bigoted gop ticket. Absolutely shameful.

Romney/ryan is easily the most repulsive presidential ticket to ever come along. Worse than bush/cheney in fact.

Enjoy president obama's second term.

Default Paul Ryan Doesn't Have Enough Private Sector Experience to be Vice President

Paul Ryan has not ever really worked in the private sector.

Is America ready for a VP that has been in politics most of his adult life?

Hoover. Very successful in the private sector, very good with numbers, failed to stop the depression.

Private sector success does not equal political success.

It can help, but its not as important as other things.

Balances the ticket. Another mark of a strong leader. Mature, comfortable in his own skin, by picking someone who has strenghts, or knowledge that you don't.

Paul Ryan is a very smart ,honest man who has values and integrity. The democrats like him.

This will make Biden look like flubadub and Obama clueless.

Agree. Romney just lost the election. When I first heard who his pick was the first thought was history is repeating itself.
