I think he was picked for his first name, to hype libertarians reminded
of Ron Paul.
I continue to think that Mitch Daniels, no mean budget cruncher in his

no clear options for 2016.

Paul Ryan is a Younger Version of Romney, maybe a little less stiff but still without Charisma

Looks like he's bombing out a lot faster than Perry... And that's saying something.
