10. R-Money is continually horrible when not tossed underhand softballs.

Sep 2012

He has absolutely no idea how to answer a non-canned "question" that he gets when he's on Republican safe havens like CNBC or Faux. CNN doesn't necessarily press him either. R-Money is particularly bad at questions where he can't employ his corporate "Sell the Mystery, Not the Mastery" technique when it comes to specific details of his plan (e.g. How he intends to pay for across-the-board tax cuts). Ryan is also most comfortable in CNBC's softball field.

I think both Romney and Ryan are going to get their asses handed to them, despite what the gaggle of idiots on Yahoo or YouTube mistakenly think.
