Good news — Ryan stays on ballot in 1st District
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The Democrats can’t say anything about this, because LBJ in 1960 ran for both VP and re-election to the Senate. And in 2000, Joe Lieberman ran for both VP and re-election to the Senate.
So if any Democrats say Ryan can’t or shouldn’t do this, let’s have the facts that good Democrats do the same thing, when they are picked to run for Vice-President.
That’s a pretty normal course of action but someone always has to try to make it an issue (when it isn’t).

“”Romney-Ryan rally planned for Waukesha Sunday night”
“A Romney-Ryan rally is planned for Waukesha Sunday night, a Romney campaign official confirmed Saturday.
The official said the rally would likely be around 6 p.m. A site has not been selected, but details are expected to be released later Saturday.
On Twitter, a Tweet said: “Romney/Ryan rally in Waukesha tomorrow evening... stay tuned for details.”
Susan Jacobson, campaign manager for Ryan’s House re-election campaign, referred questions to the Mitt Romney campaign.
Waukesha County would be a logical location for a rally. The county is considered to be one of the party’s strongholds nationwide.
We’ll update when more information becomes available.””
I wonder why the Journal omitted Walworth County as part of Ryan’s district and one of the most conservative counties in the state. Gov, Walker is from this county, and Ryan grew up in the next county. We’re very proud of that part of the state.
I am all for him running for his seat again. However, once they are a President or Vice President nominee, I think their paycheck should stop until they work again. Campaigning should not be a paid job. He is going to get a free paycheck from now until November guaranteed. Who gets that kind of free ride.
Though it would seem if he really believed in Romney, he’d commit himself to that goal. Here he sets himself a backstop. Even though he can do it by law, it seems a bit disingenuous to me.
The rules need to be changed, you want to be VP (or anything else for that matter) you SHOULD BE MADE TO CHOOSE.
This tells me he's not confident he actually is going to be VP.
The first of many, I'm sure disappointments, because I'd bet big money he's going to cruise to victory.
Sorry to see he doesn't share the Freepers optimism
"His"? Is the writer suggesting he actually built it?
The average Freeper would pass for a genius there.
So, assuming Ryan wins both elections, I wonder who Walker will appoint to fill the seat?
