Paul Ryan: Sarah Palin 2.0

So, most political commentators cringe at the thought of making predictions, but I seriously think that Mitt Romney dealt a huge blow to his campaign by selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate. It's especially odd that he would pick someone with a definitive record from being in Congress since 1999 and a budget plan that Obama's team had already dubbed the Romney-Ryan budget. Romney has until this point been seen as a flip-flopper that refused to take a hard stand on any issue. One thing for sure, is that this has energizes Republicans and Democrats alike. I have to wonder if the same people that pushed Palin on McCain created this ticket.
