Nightmare scenario - if Dems win back the House: Maxine Waters awaits to throw her usual bombs...she could take over Barney Frank's banking cmte chairmanship.

Excerpt: Waters is wrestling with a long-running ethics investigation over whether she helped secure federal funding for a bank in which her husband owned stock and previously served as a board member. Waters has maintained her innocence, and two attorneys on the House ethics committee were placed on leave for mishandling the case. An outside attorney is now investigating the matter.

Re Ryan - IMO he's the only one (other than Mitt Romney) who has enough personal charisma to defeat the big O. Both Romney and Ryan are far more intelligent than O but that doesn't appear to be enough for American voters - fortunately both of them are also physically attractive. That will make those voters(probably the majority) happy who want their Pres to look the part. In other words, Obama has proven he lacks the intelligence to find solutions for the country's economic problems, therefore in order to defeat him this time Repubs must choose a candidate who is not only quick on their feet mentally, but also fulfills the somewhat youthful, good-looking image voters prefer. Both Ryan and the slightly more mature Romney live up to that standard. In fact, they'd make a great ticket. Gingrich is definitely smart but he fails miserably when it comes to the physical appearance job requirement.
