It means he thinks he is more likely to lose his base than get moderate votes. Does not look good for him.

Do you think that perhaps, the GOP knows that there is no hope and therefore wants to put forth a young, rising star in hopes that he can win in 2016? Future of the party, Paul Ryan.

A good chance. I doubt the choice of Ryan was Mitts alone I am pretty sure they went with GOP tradition and let Rush Limbaugh choose.

That is hilarious, unfortunately there is probably some truth there.

Who would have been the ideal "grab the moderates" running mate? I can't really think of any. Christie?
