Why would they chose Paul Ryan? He won't be the 2016 nominee.

Because he was just on a national ticket and therefore has solid name recognition ?

Other GOP candidate besides maybe Christie, Santorum or Huckabee wouldn't make much sense.

IIRC these "swing states" include NM & MI, which aren't swing states. At any rate, meh, Hillarymania.

I would say Bush, Christie, and Rubio all have a better shot at winning the nomination.

He ran a limp campaign for Vice-President and lost his own state.

For good reason the House of Representatives is at best the ante-penultimate stop before the Presidency. As a rule the Senate, a Governorship, or a Cabinet post is in between the House and the White House.  

I am usually tempted to show a map, but not here. Ryan would lose every one of the twelve purple states.
