Romney to announce running mate on Saturday @9am ET in Norfolk, VA

[CLARENCE 2015!]

guy in politics for maybe a dozen years vs a guy in politics for 40?

Guy who is a clownish buffoon, wrong on every foreign policy issue for 30+ years, and eating in dinners that have been closed for 20.
vs.
the guy with the best combination of intelligence, work ethic/morality, and speaking ability in Washington.     

I agree with your comments about Biden but do not believe Ryan is a good speaker at all...that is one of his weaknesses

[CLARENCE 2015!]

No gravitas... you could tell me he is competing for a college debate team and I would believe you. He looks like a twig and sounds like his jewels haven't yet dropped

OK, you think he is too young.  I can see that, weakness at speaking is the opposite of reality though.  The guy has "jewels" enough to be the first/only guy to put a serious plan on the table.  Budget chairman carries some gravitas IMO.     

Don't get me wrong- I like Ryan and would be happy if he is named VP. I simply don't believe most would agree with you that he is a great speaker

He needs a game changer....Rubio is that pick unless it is some one very unexpected

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I respect your admiration for Ryan... if he is the pick, I'd vote for him for VP along with his running mate. However- I believe Rubio is far more dynamic and charismatic and would do more good in Florida then Ryan would in Wisconsin

We agree... Romney needs a game changer

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I don't believe it is a 100% certainty to be Ryan.... I also believe Rubio is a potential choice and there could yet be a dark horse none of us have guessed. I believe we can clearly say it will not be Portman or Pawlenty- they do not excite enough and Romney needs a game changer...
