That's the reason why we have primaries and debates. Separates the wheat from chaff.

Or at least, it's supposed to.

for those who think paul ryan is a great debater, i would think again.

yup..

the closest thing we've seen of him going up against obama was during the bi-partisan 'summit' on healthcare, ryan came across as mediocre (at least when it came to hammering down the republican objections)....i consider him tepid at best in a debate...also don't forget his MISERABLE state of the union response last january...

i consider ryan an able 'green eye shade' legislator , but i do not see any real leadership skills in him that would excite voters....maybe a VP nod, but i'm not sure what that even brings to the table...rubio is by far the best hope of republicans securing the hispanic vote, i doubt i would give that up (were it to be an option) in favor of paul ryan
