Is Ryan the youngest-looking person on a major party ticket ever?

[State Comptroller Atkins]

I would say so. He looks no older than 30. Palin and Quayle both looked slightly younger than they actually were (mid-late 30s perhaps). Kennedy looked his age.

[Gravis Marketing]

Franklin Pierce looked pretty young.

[retromike22]

I was thinking about this too. I actually think it may be a disadvantage instead of a advantage.

Standing next to him, it's like he's Romney's son/staffer or something. Considering his sons are the same age as Ryan...

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Yes, he looks very young. A bit like a wet noodle. The optics of it didn't work. I'm legitimately concerned about this actually.

[Governor Scott]

It's debatable.

[retromike22]

Ryan should grow some MUTTONCHOPS!

[Lief]

Obviously it's time for Ryan to grow the beard back:

[Proud Lieberal from Northeast]

No. He looks like a child abductor.

[Supersonic]

Is that photoshopped, or real!?

[asexual trans victimologist]

No. He looks like a child abductor.

He does with the beard. More like an abductee if anything without it.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Of course the Randite has a neckbeard.

[asexual trans victimologist]

Hey now, Snowstalker. As somebody who grows really cruddy facial hair myself (cruddier than his, actually), I actually feel a slight sense of solidarity with Ryan over this.

The joke was too easy. I apologize.

Dan Quayle is younger than George W Bush.

[Holmes]

Obviously it's time for Ryan to grow the beard back:

He looks like a high school senior who just can't grow a full beard yet.

[You kip if you want to...]

Only marxists have beards. Who does he think he is?

[Sibboleth]

Must admit to having a slight sense of semi-ironic superiority after seeing that attempt at a beard. lol.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

That is the most fake-looking real beard I've ever seen.

[milhouse24]

He should go with a soul-patch, goatee, or mustache. 

Paul might not live past 56 years because his dad and grandfather died at 56 years age.  He's not Jack Kennedy.

I swear to holy hell if I hear that one more time on TV/or somebody else making a post about it I will blow a gasket. That does not mean he will die in office, or at 56. You have made the same stupid claim in at least three posts about his life span in three different threads.

[mondale84]

Paul Ryan is no man. He's a boy.

[ChairmanSanchez]

Paul Ryan is no man. He's a boy.

He seems "manly" enough appearance wise. But politically, I agree that his experience, while in my opinion sufficient, should be under scrutiny, as he still is young.

[retromike22]

In the vice presidential debate, do you think Joe Biden might become confused and give Paul Ryan a noogie?

[Mr. Morden]

He's not as young as his celebrity lookalikes.
