LIVE Paul Ryan Speaks at Alma Mater Miami University, Ohio

WLWT ^

[GOPinCa]

Live video of Paul Ryan speaking live at 6:00pm EST. Just reported at least 6,000 people in crowd.

[samadams2000]

He should waive his transcript in the air. Laughs all around.

[llmc1]

Thanks. Is Ryan’s speaking schedule posted anywhere?

[GOPinCa]

I don’t know if it’s posted anywhere. I think the campaign should definitely post it.

[GOPinCa]

Just searched and found that Paul Ryan will be campaigning Thursday at Walsh University in North Canton, OH.

[TomGuy]

Someone just signaled 2-5-2-5 on the live stream.

[nascarnation]

Some lib caller on the Garrison show was trying to convince people that Miami is a junior college and Ryan was a dropout.

I hope the guy runs into Bo Schembechler in the next life.

[llmc1]

Thanks. How did you find that? I’m in San Diego and wondering if they’ll make a stop here.

[GOPinCa]

Just did a google search for “Paul Ryan” and “Thursday” and it popped up.

[RWGinger]

that is all they have
to lie and hurl childish insults

aside from being a great academic institution it is also called the cradle of coaches

[GraceG]

Is he already done?

[newzjunkey]

Waiting on him to arrive.

[RWGinger]

How cool is the coverage?
No snide remarks
it actually sounds very respectful

[nascarnation]

Yeah Ernie Kellerman from my hs, 3-time all MAC quarterback, went there, among scores of others.

[SamAdams76]

Has not started yet, crowd is there and Ryan is on his way over

[newzjunkey]

Gov Kasich is talking now about Ohio and Paul Ryan.

[RWGinger]

[SE Mom]

Gov Kaisich and Sen Portman introducing Ryan

OT- here’s something REALLY funny:

[newzjunkey]

Rob Portman now.

[llmc1]

LOL - Good for him! Umm, Portman is rather dull, isn’t he.

[p. henry]

I am in CA as well. Unless this really turns into a wave election, we will only see either candidate here as part of fund raising expeditions. Our state is just too blue to merit their attention. If we do start to see commercials or campaign appearances here, it will be a very good sign.

[SE Mom]

Umm, Portman is rather dull, isn’t he.

LOL- I was JUST thinking that- very nice fellow- but holy cow- he would have put us ALL to sleep.

[RedMDer]

I would love to see an article with the headline

RYAN SAVES MEDICARE!

[Laura722]

I love this guy.

[GraceG]

No prompter at all!

[spankalib]

I didn’t have to read past the first name on your list.
Chills on my arms
BUMP!

[TomGuy]

Portman tried to create a frenzy with the crowd, but he just didn’t have it.

[Thanksgoodness Romney passed over Portman and Pawlenty.]

[Qwackertoo]

Love how they play Born in America . . . playing now at the conclusion of the Ryan rally . . . heard it dozens of times at the Newt rallies.

[TomGuy]

No prompter at all!

One thread showed a couple of regular notepads with 'scrawlings' on them by Romney and Ryan.

A little while ago, I watched the video of Ryan at the Healthcare summit in 2009. He was stating facts and figures and errors in Obamacare, and he seldom referred to notes. That was when Obama slyly gave him a couple of middle fingers.

Ryan knows this stuff [the economy, the budget] backward and forward.

[Qwackertoo]

Yes, thank goodness he passed on those two fine & nice gentlemen but they are not what he/we need. Love Paul Ryan. Excellent choice.

[SamAdams76]

Now they are playing "Only In America" by Brooks & Dunn - another rousing political rally song.

Notice how all the Secret Service people around Ryan are also not wearing ties. JFK was mostly responsible for men not having to wear hats all the time in public. Ryan might free us of the dreaded necktie!

[profit_guy]

How do his socks look??!!

(the word is the NYT may do a hit piece on his socks)

[llmc1]

Ryan gives great speech, as usual.

Regarding CA - Obama is at 52% approval and our last governor was “republican”. I hope Romney/Ryan don’t just think it’s a lost cause (even if it probably is).

[Qwackertoo]

maybe my hearing loss in my left ear is worse than I thought. I need one of those Esteem things like Rush . . . too much loud music in my teens. :(

[GreenLanternCorps]

Did not know he was a Miami Alum. I wonder if he. like my brother the lurker Freeper, has an "I'll be a Redskin 'til my very last breath" t-shirt?

[Tainan]

Miami alumnus here also. Go REDSKINS !!!


(from the days of the water tower)

[MtnClimber]

My wife and I saw him yesterday in Lakewood, Colorado. There were about 2,500 people there.

[KansasGirl]

So do I.

[xzins]

Miami University academically is called the “Ivy League of the Midwest”. It is a very, very tough school.

[nascarnation]

Agree. My cousin went there with Ernie Kellerman. They were classmates at the same high school I attended.

[80skid]

Alumni Bump.

[God luvs America]

Redskins??? I thought Miami-Ohio was the Redhawks??? isn't this the same school child abusing/obama supporter Ben Roethlisberger went to???

[xzins]

Portman is a very nice guy, my former congressman, and my Senator. Despite some who tried to paint him as a liberal, he has been a very consistent conservative vote throughout his political career.

Portman is not a barn-burner, though. He doesn’t set things on fire. Instead, he methodically works his way through what comes his way, and he does it thoroughly and professionally. He is a good man with no real raps on him other than being Bush’s budget guy.

While he is liked in Ohio, I wouldn’t say he has a rabid following by any means. He probably would have helped to carry Ohio, but that because of favorite-son status and not because he is broadly supported.

I like Portman, but Ryan is a better choice.

[Tainan]

Redskins - pre-Politically Correct days

Redhawks - post PC days

[God luvs America]

oh...i am a St John’s grad...during the good ‘ol days of Lou Carneseca, when we had a basketball team that mattered we were the Redmen.....to be politically correct they changed to the Red Storm and have sucked ever since....

[TomGuy]

The first time I saw Ryan was during the televised Republican healthcare summit with Obama.

When Ryan spoke, his was articulate and in command of the facts and the errors in Obamacare legislation. He spoke of those without referring to notes.

He impressed me then. I had hoped he would jump into the presidential fray last spring.

I am honestly surprised that Romney selected him, but I am glad Romney did. There is no other Republican I would have preferred. I was so apprehensive that Romney might go with Jeb B.

[reg45]

I hope the guy runs into Bo Schembechler in the next life.

and Woody Hayes on the other side.

[reg45]

Redskins - pre-Politically Correct days

Redhawks - post PC days

One of the local high schools did exactly the same thing.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Unfortunately, CA will be a tip in the spear of the attack on Obama and the direction the country will go. but, it would be nice to see, late in the election, if R2 let out a challenge to CA to get this one right and bring it back to RED country.
