Ryan is sunk. Period.

His ears are too big.

Not so much big, but they just stick out too much.
So he's toast.

No presidential candidate has ever been elected who had a running mate with barn door ears.
That's a fact.
You could look it up.

MANY presidents have had big ears.
Not so for VPs.

He is extremely creepy looking to me. And the more I know about him, the creepier he gets.

One thing I want to know, why does nobody ever bring up his extremist views on abortion and birth control? No woman that I know would ever vote for him (or the Romney/Ryan ticket) simply for that reason only.

...I thought it said:

"Ryan is skunk. Period."

Which also works.
