The Romney Death Stench Grows: Ryan Allies Leak His Post-Loss Plans

We haven't heard the last from this scumbag, unfortunately.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/03/1154712/-The-Romney-Death-Stench-Grows-Ryan-Allies-Leak-His-Post-Loss-Plans

docstymie has a great diary on the rec list right now showing one sure sign that the Romney campaign is unraveling: confidential campaign insiders pointing out that Romney really wanted Chris Christie - not Paul Ryan - to be his running mate. On her show last night, Rachel Maddow pointed out another sure sign that the Romney death stench is growing: confidential campaign insiders - you gotta love those confidential campaign insiders! - are openly speculating to the AP about Paul Ryan's plans when - oops IF - Romney loses. Rachel pointed out that this AP story is eerily similar to stories that started coming out about Sarah Palin around this time in the McCain campaign's final death spiral four years ago. Tick tick tick.

The AP story is based on interviews with "Ryan allies" who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to discuss private proposals they were preparing for him" after the Romney-Ryan ticket tanks. It really makes for some humorous reading.

According to the anonymous "biggest boosters" of Ryan, he "probably can write his own ticket" after Nov. 6!! Here are some of the possible roles they envision for Ryan after President Obama starts his second term:

Paul Ryan the Quitter!
Some of Ryan's closest pals are so worried about the Dems in Congress being mean to Ryan when he returns as a loser to Washington, that they are urging him to follow in the illustrious footsteps of the last Republican VP loser, Sarah Palin, and just quit!

I doubt Ryan is concerned about Democrats being mean to him.

As a Republican, it's more likely he's concerned about that which Republicans worship most: money.

Roger Ailes can make any ol' piece of shit into Faux broadcast material. Case-in-point: Faux's entire on-air staff! Lyin' Ryan will fit right in. We already know he's a world-class liar. We already know he's enamoured with his own looks and voice. And we already know he considers himself quite the intellectual.

7. The VP slot on a losing ticket is typically a springboard to wild success:
