My view has been the same since I heard he was on the short list 5 years ago.
And this was attested to by multiple media reporters following the Romney camp....
Romney just felt like he connected intellectually, personally, and ideologically with Ryan. Something the kindred spirits. Ryan is very cerebral, accounting focused (much like Romney) and both are very serious about their faiths, even if they may be difference.
Romney made comments that he was looking for a VP who he could work with intimately for 8 years, and Ryan fit the bill.
Apparently, Gov. Christie was chronically late, and other 'Jersey' cultural tics that turned Romney off considerably.
Regardless, no other VP would have swung the election IMO.
