Unassuming was my impression of Ryan as well, which is not really gonna cut a fresh path through the mob of Dem candidates this go-round. My own dance card is pretty full already with love for Mayor Pete, which seems to match the inclination of most of my Facebook friends too by the looks of their posts in the last week.
I was an early supporter of Senator Amy Klobuchar but she comes across to many in my circle as the lovechild of the late Leona Helmsley at her meanest and Hillary Clinton at her most wonkish. That albatross is going to be a difficult burden for her to shake off. I'm anxious to see how the Dem's constellation of stars adjusts to accommodate Tim Ryan who I still believe has the best electoral calculus out of the lot. I apologize in advance for reducing the horse race to gender but I don't envision two men at the top of the Dem's ticket. Just not seeing room for both Tim Ryan and Mayor Pete atop that ticket. You Dems must decide before the rest of us can decide if you know what I mean.
