Did Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as VP lose any Independent votes?

It's a suitable choice. Both Romney and Ryan have histories with actually accomplishing something and (gasp) working with Dems to fix problems. I know Libs consider compromise a dirty word, but that's how you fix issues between parties.

They don't just blame the problems on someone else and throw their arms up. Sure, four more years of blame.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
