I think that Paul Ryan is a better potential VP than Sarah Palin. What do others think about this? Compare their backgrounds, etc.

Clearly he has the advantage. I think we should be comparing him to Joe Biden really.

Do you think he adds to the Republican ticket much more than Sarah Palin did in 2008? |

Paul Ryan is very much in the Dick Cheney category: a douche who people hate but nonetheless does not come off as braindead. That is better than Palin because it scares people less for whatever reason. I don't really understand why, a moron like Palin wouldnt be any worse president than a semi competent psychopath

I think he adds more. I would have prefered Condi Rice though.
Palin was a cheerleader, highly effective, but just a cheerleader. Not that I've ever thrown a cheerleader out of bed mind you. 
Paul has definately got the IQ to support being a VP. I just think Condi would have been a better pick. She does have a nice gig at Standford though making TONS more money. |

He's definitely not as braindead as Palin! |

I'm not conservative, but I think Ryan was a much better choice than Palin was. Less personal baggage, seems pretty intelligent and articulate--even if you don't agree with what he's saying, and he doesn't seem to cater to the worst elements of the GOP base the way Palin did. |

Now Eddie Munster gets a chance to explain why he wanted to kill Medicare.
Good luck with that.
