So, do you agree that the selection of a VP candidate can influence the vote?
How about that Rubio and Marco could sway some Florida votes to the Romney ticket?

No...I don't. It's window dressing...or if done right...a natural progression within a party...a sheer vote of confidence in Leadership.

The last 3 President's were abject failures in that department!

In some cases they doomed a ticket...Perot especially comes to mind.

The VP is basically someone to attend funerals...run the House...and God forbid...actually sit in for a fallen President.

I liked Rubio as a candidate for POTUSA...having him potentially sit for 8 years behind Romney would only make him more viable but at this time...I agree with the Ryan pick.

With this elecion it comes down to 2 things...The candy is coming out of the babies mouthes or Round II of the Bailouts/Buyouts. Take your pick. One will HAVE to happen...sooner is better than later.

Ryan will be able to campaign at an angle that nobody else will...where's your budget Mr. President? Here's mine. Let the House vote up or down on it and quit holding American's hostage with gridlock and nonsense like the drilling moratorium...bailouts...more wars...OwedumbaCare and a host of other issues that the current clownshoes cannot and will not address!

Vp choice can and does influence elections and these things are getting so close it doesn't take much to tip the scale.

I may not vote for Romney because of Ryan. I've always thought he was a knee jerk reaction kind of guy who overreacts and over reaches.

I was solidly in the Romney camp until this choice. Now I'm not sure. There are more like me.

LOL. Nothing could bring me to vote for Obama. He's almost as bad as Bush was.

That doesn't mean I have to vote for Romney though..... unless I need yall's permission.

Yall have minds like a steal trap. It is refreshing to be back to the if you don't vote like me you are a democrat model again though..... I was afraid it would subside. And HD you are an effin instigator.... just like the french to stir the nest then throw their hands up and watch... (I'm talking war not sex...wouldn't know about that)

Not voting for a candidate because of his VP choice is akin to not going to a decent restaurant because they changed out the brand urinal cakes.

What has Biden done these past three years that make a difference to Obama's performance?

Romney was going to approach this election with a plan.
ANY plan.
So he chose a guy who puts his money where his mouth is. No false promises. No vague generalities. An actual plan that may not be perfect but is a good place to start in order to get things back on track.

Don't be pulled in by all the rhetoric. Granny isn't going to be ignored. Puppies won't be killed. Hell, they may even pardon Obama for committing unspeakable crimes against our economy.

Cheney certainly influenced Bush and I beleive Ryan is much too energetic of a politician to just sit down and shut up. it's interesting that folks are ok with the POP a VP choice brings in but seem to downplay the downside. I asume Romney picked him for a reason, if not he should have just gone with carrot top or somethin. You even said he picked him for a reason.... so we should treat him like a urinal cake on some things and beleive he was picked for the things we like. Seems convienient to me.

The VP position is different in every admin. Reagan didn't really even like Bush and Bush didn't have much say (although it was a springboard to the Presidency.) Cheney certainly was an active VP. Gore not as much but again it alost sprung him into the Presidency.

I really dislike Ryan and am afraid he would be cheney like on domestic affairs. Can't really tell right now but it is a possibility. It may also spring him onto the main stage later which I do not want. And in the event Romneys hair die has lead in it we could inherit him as the prez.

So the thread that starts all excited about Ryan as a choice seemed an appropriate place to post about not being excited about him as a choice.

I can't vote for Obama. I'm not all that thrilled about Romney but could plug my nose and vote for him. I really dislike Ryan, and have for quite awhile. He is no Palin in that I find him more credible than her, I just don't like him. But don't get pulled in by his rhetoric. Really look at him.

Spike Lee on Obama’s First Term: ‘Expectations Were Way Too High’

Lee is doing a little election-season expectation management on behalf of President Obama. Lee came to the president’s defense in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, arguing that the hopes for Obama during his first term couldn’t have been higher.

“He was the savior – Black Jesus,” said the Brooklyn-raised filmmaker, who doesn’t shy away from politically charged material in his own efforts, onscreen and off. “And … look, I don’t care who it was,” Lee continued. “Expectations were, I think, way too high.”

Lee, who’s currently promoting both the president's cause and his own latest film, “Red Hook Summer,” told Lemon he believes Obama has faced a considerable political obstacle during his first term in the form of a hostile Congress out to block his every move. “We’re blocking, and every breath we take we’re gonna do what we can 🇸🇴 that you don’t get a second term,” said Lee, channeling Obama’s opposition. “And if it hurts America in the process, tough business.”

But, he said, although the president’s “not perfect,” he’s still got Lee’s vote this November. “I’m gonna do what I can to help,” Lee told Lemon.

That helpful impulse has already led Lee to host a fund-raiser at his Manhattan home on Jan. 20, where the president's supporters raised more than a million dollars.
