And let's not forget that Ryan is a career politician. He was first elected at age 28 having spent most of his years since college graduation working for one politician or another.

For once that does not sound bad. The alternatives are the community organizer who lead basically nothing in the private field and then did nothing in politics of substance and the gaff machine in Biden.
Pretty much like that last election- the incumbent will be voted against is the reason for the opponents win.

No 'real world' experience is a negative for Obama.
No 'real world' experience is a plus for Ryan.


Having been a Senator is a negative for Obama.
Having been a congressman is a plus for Ryan.


Got it.

I'd say the CCAGW has some 'splaining' to do. Ryan votes for TARP, auto bail outs, Iraq war to mention a few but he is a hero of the tax payer? Yea, the CCAGW is not partisan at all. What ever.

VP to VP. Not President to VP.


An CNBC article about the CCAGW is spin?

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, the nation's largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.

Who exactly has said they are non-partisan? Given Ryans voting history I would say the CCAGW is blind if not partisan.

Is not a CNBC article about CCAGW. It is part and parcel from CCAGW website.

Got it.
Obama never served a single term as a US Senator.
Ryan served many terms as a US Congressman.

He certainly would have if not elected President.

7 terms as congressman. In fact, seems like politics is the only job he has ever had... just what we need, another career politician...

What's your point?

I believe the argument against Obama and for Romney is that Romney has business experience. So now we have you saying that more experience of not running a business is better then less experience of not running a business. Some how I do not see that argument holding a lot of water.
