Republican 2016 Field Narrows

For John, BLUF:  I am thinking that State Capitols is the place to look for 2016 Republican Presidential Candidates.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

In which I quote the totality of an Althouse blog post.

Clue that Paul Ryan will not seek the GOP presidential nomination.

"After winning re-election last night, Ryan said he would seek the chairmanship of the the House Ways and Means Committee.  That post would make it exceedingly difficult for him to seek the presidency next year."

ADDED:  Ryan might be thinking:  2016 is a good year for a Wisconsinite, but a bad year for a member of Congress to win the presidency.  We need a governor....

Yes, I am disappointed.  I like Paul Ryan.  But, Governor Scott Walker wouldn't be a bad candidate for 2016.♠

Hat tip to Ann Althouse.

♠  No, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is not one of my favorites.  However, I like South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley) and I like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (Piyush "Bobby" Jindal).
