I seriously doubt there is more than a hand full of folks who are undecided. It’s going to come down to turnout.

Ryan is really hitting IPAB—the “Death Panel” of 15 unelected bureaucrats—who will be making decision on what Medicare will or will not fund. To me, this is critical to winning this issue. Yes, raiding Medicare to fund Obamacare is a big issue, but the most visceral issue that will connect with the public, especially seniors, is that this board will affect today’s recipients immediately. No amount of spinning with numbers will change that. Romney and Ryan must continue to hit this hard.

The Villages actually has more registered Republicans than Democrats, its hardly the liberal bastion many think it is. In 2008 Palin drew about 50,000 to her speech there.

Obama doesn’t have a great mom, just an old pedophile named Frank Marshall Davis.

I’m not buying it, sorry. Moderation and reaching across the aisle won’t cure what Marxism has wrought. Ryan should be explaining and promoting the principles of conservatism, which is the only fix.

Could it be that the reason there are more GOP’ers in The Villages is that they actually worked for a living as opposed to sucking off the government.

Yeah. That jumped out at me too. It is a fact though that to get anything done, there has to be some cooperation. It is a war in Washington but at they’d of the day, it takes some votes from both sides for most any bill. The key, and Ryan is a great example of this, is to look for common ground and pull the guys on the other side to ours. He has Ron Wyden of all people on board with his reforms. He moved Wyden to the right....not the other way around. Reagan did this effectively too....getting his key agenda items through a democratic house.

This is a key to putting a dagger in the Obama presidency. He absolutely has refused any inkling of bipartisanship at any point in this presidency...and this ticket is wise to compare and contrast this term with Bush’s, Clinton’s, Reagan’s presidncies and Obama. Using Romney as a GOP governor and a Dem same house in MA is fine with me...as it does illustrate a contrast with the Obama years.

Where did his advance team dig up these corpses. Show so enthusiasm. that mummy with the Palm Springs hat and flag shirt has not changed his expression. He could not raise his hand when Ryan asked if he there is anyone here over 55.

Ryan is great. Love the message and that he is willing to take it into the belly of the beast. a real game-changer.

But seriously get some supporters who show they are alive for better visuals.

You don’t think he has the same ‘ sparkle”?
gee I don’t know
maybe 4 campaigns stops a day and all the travel?

I thought and clearly everyone there thought he had plenty of sparkle

i’d rather have Ryan’s thoughtful analysis and ideas to correct our decline than all of 0dumbo’s supposed charisma. We don’t need fainters.

The point is that Obama did not reach across the aisle. He is an ideologue. When Obama had total control over Congress his first two years, he pushed his agenda down our throat including Obamacare and the stimulus. Obama with his executive orders and czars has ruled like a tyrant. He is intent on destroying the opposition.

The speech is fine, but the crowd is nowhere near the size of Palin’s. When you look back on it, she was an incredible pick, and might have dragged McCain to victory if he hadn’t suspended his campaign.

I like how Ted Cruz spoke about compromise. He said Ronald Reagan would compromise by settling for half now and getting the second half later. He said often our side has compromised in such a manner that made America weaker rather than stronger. That has got to change.

Ryan: “We will not try to transform this country into something it was never meant to be.”

You need to wake up fast! When he told his mom that she built her own business that’s all we needed to hear for the day!! He’s the real deal and understands that for the most part you can’t always legislates from a single party.It’s how you cut the deal that matters,how you cave or don’t cave that matters. Just ask other dems how Ryan negotiates he is as tough as they come.Time we supported him and Romney and stopped with the nitpicking!

“When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it.

“Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything.

“I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’

“If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

Ryan’s mother is what Obama would call “a typical white woman.”

I think Ryan is the answer in so many ways. What about you John?
