You just witnessed the apex of Paul Ryan's career & it wasn't even all that spectacular...

[Drunken Irishman]

In four years, no one will be talking about Paul Ryan. He might make a token run at the presidency, but he'll be dominated by Jeb and Christie because his personality just doesn't do anything for anyone. Oh but he's wonkish! Well that won't be enough to overcome being on a losing ticket.

In the next 24 hours, the media will talk up a rising star and how Ryan will be #1 in 2016 if Romney doesn't win ... but I don't buy it. There is a reason losing running mates rarely return to the national political scene again and it's because they can never shake the stank of losing an election.

Ryan won't be blamed for Romney losing, but he's also not going to get out of this without a few devastating dings.

1. Ryan just does not have a dynamic personality.

Although some in the MSM tried to sell him as exciting. I think someone like Chris Christie will get more attention. Even some of the Governors were better speakers then Ryan.

3. Yup. The only reason Palin had any staying power is because of her personality...

2. From your drunken lips to the diety I don't believe in!

Bring on the dings. Ryan, for lack of a better word, is a twerp. He is already a career politician that lies through his teeth like he's been doing it for decades. I hope this election and subsequent defeat are painful for Ryan, and the more painful, the better.
