"Yes, Ryan comes off as nerdier than Romney, but he doesn't come off as much more human. They seem like two slightly different variants of the classic gladhanding candidate for high-school student-body president.

Most kids at my high school didn't especially like either type. They only voted for one of them because there was no alternative." Bob Wright on Paul Ryan
