Trying to tag Ryan as a DC insider is a stretch. Just because he has served in DC does not make him an insider especially when he has clearly stood against the DC establishment. Independents like Ryan because he is much easier to trust.
I already said Rubio was DOA. I think Rice has enough respect to get past the idea of a pandering choice. Your argument ignores Pawlenty, Portman, Jindal or Christie who each would have been, in my view, equivalent selections--Portman and Pawlenty would have been markedly better.Ryan is a better choice than most of the other options because the others, like say Rubio or Rice, would have looked contrived to pander to racial segments of the vote. Ryan helps cement the focus on the economy which is where it needs to be. Ryan has much more depth and ability to persuade than does Palin.
I think it was a pandering trick--pandering to the GOP base and trying to use the Ryan budget as a quick distraction from the tax return/Bain debate Romney has been unable to shrug off. I think Ryan has the skills for the ticket, but I think his history in the beltway outweighs the positives he brings to the ticket.We will see a much more broad cross-section of actual voters connecting with Romney-Ryan. This is a serious leadership team to fix America not a pandering trick and that is what most voters will see.
