Because of course Ryan is going to be in his hometown instead of washington where he actually spends most of his time

From Catholic Vote today:

Paul Ryan, Representative from Wisconsin's 1st District

Religious liberty
Voted for the Religious Liberty Protection Act of 1999.

On the HHS mandate: “This is much, much bigger than about contraception.

I suppose so - if we want to come in a fairly close second.

I like Ryan. Great choice. This means that they are going to double-down on economic issues, but they have to be very careful not to turn the campaign into a pedantic snoozefest.

Who are you voting for?

If it's not Obama then it has to be the Constitution, Green, whatever party. But that's irrelevant. If he's not voting then he's clueless to begin with.

My source tells me all three of NBC’s sources are named Harry Reid.

But anyhoo, I hope it is Ryan, he’s a solid pick. :)

OK, Ok, ok...Ryan isn't the worst pick..but not sexy at all...plus he has negatives. At least he is conservative fiscally (which I LOVE). Just hand out free Mary-Jane the day of the election to keep the youngsters out or we will get killed.

Fox News reporting... some “Republican official speaking on condition of anonymity” told the AP that Romney’s VP choice IS Paul Ryan.

Romney/Ryan will preach fiscal conservatism and B.O. will preach relaxation of student loan debt. Bet on it :^(
