Paul Ryan: Barack Obama

Sarah Palin Dept: His selection of Paul Ryan is not the disaster critics said it would be, at least not yet. The young Congressman is the Sarah Palin of 2012 only in the sense that he lit up the Republican ideological embers and electrified their quadrennial convention. But unlike her, he s no flake. He speaks in sentences. He understands government. He has ideas and a plan. Whether you agree with him or not is beside the point, for now, according to The Star. Romney, although awkward as usual, delivered a coherent address. He also came out of his Mormon closet dexterously showcasing his ascension as the first man of his faith to win a presidential nomination. This is almost as momentous an American moment as the election of a Catholic and a black as president John Kennedy and Barack Obama and mitt Romney, self-proclaimed business expert, has managed the last two political weeks well. The convention, crunched into three days because of a tropical storm, was professionally staged. Speakers stuck to the script, conveying a consistent message. A fractured party was corralled into a seemingly cohesive unit. Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry et al were put in their proper place, mostly out of sight. There was no doubt as to who was in charge. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
