Making my point

PJ:  Yesterday I posted a column from the Washington Post pointing out how totally different Paul Ryan is from Sarah Palin.  I weighed in with my two cents.  This is how people in Alaska view the two candidates.

Paul Ryan: How does Romney's nominee measure up against Sarah Palin?

Jeremy D. Mayer | The Christian Science Monitor | Aug 13, 2012

OPINION: Mitt Romney’s pick of Paul Ryan as his running mate is almost as bold as John McCain’s choice four years ago. But Congressman Ryan is no Sarah Palin.

And that’s good news for us all, Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike.

Indeed, Mr. Ryan, who is chairman of the House Budget Committee, is nothing less than the anti-Palin. Although he’s young, telegenic, and very conservative, the similarities with Ms. Palin end there.
Back in 2008, Palin – at that time the governor of Alaska – very quickly showed herself to be little more than a talented TV personality, with almost no substantial knowledge of policy or even a grasp of basic facts about government. Ryan, by contrast, stands out among Republicans in the House for his wonkish interests.
