I think your A and B are strongly tempered by the C.
I currently care more about our terrible economic straits than I care about my kid being able to point to someone who looks like her in Presidential power. And, while I'm unlikely to vote for either major party candidate, I was surprised by the pick of Ryan. It made me think that maybe, there's a chance that some Republicans actually get that the economy's The Thing. I'm actually interested in the election right now, and I wasn't before. (We'll see if that holds.)
Picking Ryan (a Gen Xer) is also generationally interesting. Are we through with the old guys?
