VPs have been criticized for holding an office that amounts to little more than a warm bucket of spit. BUT one thing is perfectly clear about being the VP --- he/she would be a heartbeat away from being our next President.
The VP Debate tonight should ring that bell.
IF you choose the Romney/Ryan ticket, Ryan will be the next President of the United States IF Romney is incapacitated. THAT is a Fact.
Comfortable with that choice?
I believe the Romney/Ryan ticket lost votes on that basis tonight, and it is a problem that cannot be fixed.

(11,061 posts)Exposing Ryan's far right positions, and his willingness to change those positions to gain political advantage, reflect badly on Romney's competence and judgment.
I agree that Ryan will contribute to Romney's loss, and tonight was a good example.

(32,720 posts)At least I have some idea of where Lyin Ryan stands, even though he's wrong. Basically, both R&R are utterly unacceptable candidates.

(11,061 posts)When you think about it, both Romney AND Ryan are looking people straight in the eye and lying about every major policy position Romney promoted for the last 1-2 years at hundreds of campaign stops.
It ought to make every voter stop and think.
