VP?I don't always agree with William Kristol, but he hits the bull's-eye with this piece in The Weekly Standard:
Paul Ryan can’t accomplish much over the next year in the House. He should run as a candidate who’s shown leadership (the Ryan budget), who has successfully taken on Obama (at the House Republican retreat, the health care summit, and in the White House about two months ago), and who has the best chance of uniting the establishment and Tea Party wings of the GOP. If not Ryan, how about Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, or someone else who is young, sane, and unafraid?
It’s one thing for House Republicans to go through an awkward patch. It would be another thing entirely to fumble away the 2012 presidential election.
Each of the aforementioned individuals would be a very strong candidate, and how frustrating that none are expressing even the slightest interest in running! At the very least, one of them should appear on the ticket with the eventual nominee.
Few are better at the art of delivery than Gov. Christie
