I think he was a good choice for Romney (although now it would be nice if Romney could name some great foreign policy person that he would have in his cabinet).
I like Ryan. My problem with all of them is that both he and Obama rejected the Simpson/Bowles recommendations. I think Ryan's plans to close corporate loopholes and cut entitlements are valid. I also think that tax cuts on the wealthiest individuals that Bush enacted ought to be re-examined.
They're both pandering to their parties. I understand Ryan is known as someone that is willing to reach across the aisle but I think Obama was willing to do that too...and was met with an intransigent opposition party.
I like Ryan better than Romney and think the ticket would be better reversed.
I'm stumped. I don't want either one. Simpson/Bowles for president!
