Romney introduced him as the "next president". He knows he can't win with his lack of personality and inability to take a stand on anything. If Romney wins I think Ryan will be running things and Romney will be a figurehead who spends his time making sweetheart deals for his rich backers.
He actually could possibly be the better person for the job, but he is not well known. Most would say Ryan who?
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.
