Don't overestimate the VP choice. One thing I believe that hasn't changed is that people in general don't vote for VP. They vote for president. Gore was a great choice for Clinton in '92, Quayle was a nightmare in '88, but people vote the top of the ticket.
Could Rubio have made any difference? Possibly. Also, Romney will never say if he asked someone else before Ryan and they said "no".
Lastly, it's very rare to lose the campaign as a VP candidate on the ticket and maintain your popularity. I personally think Paul Ryan will take a hit concerning his image going forward. He added very little to the overall campaign.
