Paul Ryan's now just Miss Congenality

US House Rep. Paul Ryan is known for many things but his secret weapon is, quite honestly, his looks.  His looks have led to a series of "hey girl" posts (such as this one)  which may humanize Ryan more than many Democrats would wish.

In 2011 and 2012, all Democrats could do was whine.  Not a stunning cover boy in the bunch.  But the 2012 elections changed that.

Seems like smart partisans would have noted and already begun a Tumblr page for the Dems' man of the moment.





That's Beto O'Rourke who represents Texas' 16th Congressional District.  Before winning the general election, O'Rourke had to first beat incumbent Silvestre Reyes in a primary challenge.  As Chris Roberts (El Paso Times) notes, Reyes didn't run just any ad against O'Rourke accusing Beto of being pro-drunk, pro-drunk and pro-spanking ("was recently videotaped publicly intoxicated being spanked").


It all seems so much more exciting than anything Paul Ryan could offer.
