So I hope it's a good plan. He just strikes me as a slightly nervous, brilliant, good guy, who we desperately need to keep in the house. (As head of Ways and Means, if possible.) But not a pit bull. But I don't want to be ragging on the guy, so I'll shut up about it.<br /><br />Jim Jordan looks good for the whip.<br /><br />His chairmanship of the RSC seems like great prep for the job.K-Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-88006796262038153422012-12-22T23:21:45.039-05:002012-12-22T23:21:45.039-05:00@K-Bob:

Ryan is articulate and savvy.<br /><br />2) The House Whip is (supposedly) the arm-twister.

Not at all. You need a process guy, sure, and Ryan certainly is that. But you also need a real crafty politician who can twist arms the way the great speakers always have.<br /><br />He also needs to be a good chessplayer, regarding the rules. Mitch McConnell has been an enigma, but he knows how to tweak the majority in the Senate by using the rules. So some of his ability there is necessary, too.<br /><br />I don't know who would fit the mold, but I'd imagine you need someone more like Trey Gowdy or Allen West. Someone with a little "command" presence.<br /><br />Would I be happy with Ryan as speaker? Sure, until the first time he gets schooled by Obama and company.K-Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-20879878205979069662012-12-22T17:54:59.296-05:002012-12-22T17:54:59.296-05:00Paul Ryan should be Speaker of the House.
