But he is a BIG the winner here.
What you say? Simple, despite the outright Voter Suppression efforts going on in Florida, Ryan is the one candidate that can actually scare people away from the GOP, as half the people live off Social security and Medicare. If they lose Florida, Ryan and Romney will get the blame, while the Cubans will say "if you only picked Rubio, he could have delivered Florida.
This means that if Mitt loses, people will be lining up to kiss Marco's ass in 2016.

(15,071 posts)two had been chosen. Yes, there is the usual media hype now, they will have stories on his family, his life, etc., but not the crazed coverage they would have had for Rice or Rubio. IMO, "Paul Ryan" will not be a big factor other than to put the GOP on the defensive on eliminating SS, Medicare aand Medicaid.
