That isn’t to criticize his VP selection. Ryan’s agenda was the flavor of the party and if Romney was going to run on it, may as well pick its best salesman as his running mate. There was a logic. But again, the platform had deep vulnerabilities that his opponent exploited. ~fin~ — PolitiTweet.org

@jonfavs Sort of a catch-22. By that point most of the party was all in on Ryan’s agenda and Romney had committed to the lane. Not sure how much a Pawlenty or Portman pick (was there someone else you feared?) would’ve changed the trajectory — PolitiTweet.org
