i like paul ryan, and it's fine if he runs. his forte is the budget, and i think he is kind of a single message candidate. that's his issue, and should he run he could make sure the usa gets his plan and ideas explained the way he wants to explain it. however i think he will hurt in the executive experience conversation.

I think adding this paragraph to the piece was a cheap shot. One Ryan confidante used an analogy to make the point. Ryan sees running for president like taking a swan dive off a cliff. In the early stages of the race, when he started getting calls urging him to run, Ryan began walking away from the cliff at a brisk pace. Then, when Daniels announced that he was passing on a bid, Ryan stopped in place and turned around. In the weeks since, he's slowly made his way back to the cliff and he's now peering over the side trying to decide if he makes the leap.
