Election all but over?

Actually, they might be frequent fits... Romney knows how to cut costs and restore profitability to failing businesses, and Ryan knows how to make a government budget that promotes growth... They could be the economic Dream Team for this country (wouldn't that be great... they could end their ads with a clip of Bill Clinton saying "It's the economy, stupid").

The segment of the populace that wants smaller government and a growing economy at the same time might not be 51% of the voters.

I pray you're wrong but I fear you're right.

We're trying to gin up some enthusiasm here... One voter at a time, if necessary.... Join us.!

My word... This video is the first I've really seen of Paul Ryan. I've heard that he had a good budget and that he's well-liked among the Tea Party, but I haven't personally heard him say anything of substance until now (because I haven't bothered to pay attention).

In every election that I can clearly recall, I've voted for the P/VP that I thought would do the least harm — voting for the lesser of two evils. If my opinion of Paul Ryan isn't tarnished by what all I learn between now and November, this may be the first election in which I cast my vote for someone (even if it's just the VP part) because I actually want them in power. I might even dare to have sporadic fits of optimism.

The money quote?

Hiding Spending Doesn't Reduce Spending.

For six minutes twelve seconds, Ryan pones Obama, and does it off the cuff, without a teleprompter, with all the facts and figures right there in his head. I think he is the sharpest knife in the Congressional drawer by far. He will be president some day. You heard it here first.
