Ryan: The campaign's answer to Romney's wimp factor

Take a look at what they are emphasizing. He does P90x (hard-core fitness training) every day and climbs mountains. He hunts deer with a bow and catches catfish with his hands.

How does this qualify him to be president? It doesn't. But it does inject some testosterone into the campaign so wishy washy that it earned Romney a Newsweek cover calling him a wimp.

Will it work?

for those already on board; but not so much for others.

But what the pick will do is put someone out there who won't make the un-forced errors and seems and sound reasonable ... while saying the must unreasonable unsound things.
