Paul Ryan is Romney VP Pick

[GypsySorcerer]

I'm somewhat baffled by the choice. Ryan will not appeal to moderates/independents. Many of the swing states have already drifted toward Obama, and this will do nothing to reverse the trend. It's almost as though the GOP is asking "How can we become more unappealing?"

On the other hand, I see it as a desperation move to "shore up" the base; after all this time, no one likes Romney...even Republicans, evidently.
