"Go bold, Mitt! Pick Paul Ryan, the Republican party’s intellectual leader..."

"... the man who’s laid out the core of the post-Obama policy agenda and gotten his colleagues in Congress to sign on to it."

Or pick Marco Rubio, the GOP’s most gifted young politician, the man who embodies what is best about the Tea Party and a vision of a broad-based Republican governing majority of the future. Barack Obama was right about this (if only this): Modern democratic politics is about hope and change. Ryan and Rubio, more than anyone else, embody Republican hopes and conservative change.

(I'm not agreeing with this... just pointing to it.)
