ORIGINAL: dcnovice quote:
Can Ryan save the campaign if he is unleashed? To be honest, I'm not sure how important the VP nominee is to voters' choices. Back in the old days, a VP was chosen to "balance the ticket". Thus, JFK chose LBJ to deliver strength in the South, etc. That seems to be less important now, and I don't recall a VP who was a positive influence on a ticket in recent times. That said, it's entirely possible for a VP pick to hurt a ticket, as Palin did by making voters question McCain's ability when he made the pick. In this case, I think that Ryan may have cost Romney Florida. If Obama takes Florida, Romney is very burnt toast.
