I can see the Obozobots using this as an anti-Romney-Ryan campaign prop............DON'T BE RAILROADED BY THE WHITE GUYS!
I also like Paul Ryan.
;-)
I could live with that.
Paul Ryan would be a great pick. This election is about the economy, and people are now ready to listen to an alternative economic plan. No one can articulate that plan better than Paul Ryan.
Though I think Ryan`s talents would be more utilized where he is, he`d be a great VP pick. Imagine him debating Biden The Slow, especially on economic issues... Heheheheh...
Best news I’ve heard yet about the Romney campaign.
My wife said awhile ago that the VP’s name would start with an “R”, because of the shadowed R’s in the Romney logo.
If you are going to fix DC, you are going to need the person who understands the budget monster.
That’s Paul Ryan.
I could live with him as the VP candidate.
No, no, no - take their Marco and leave our Paul in the House:)
Big fan of Ryan, but under the current VP paradigm, I don’t see how he would be better used than where he already is.
Now if Ryan/Romney could somehow alter the role of VP, it could be a completely different ball game. Cheney managed to be a pretty influential force, although it was largely behind the scenes.
Being in the Executive branch, there’s an awful lot Ryan could do to shrink the government without Congress needing to be involved, which might be a way to make significant changes for the good.
He would be a damn sight better than the RINO milquetoasts Portman and Pawlenty.
Ryan is my choice, if the Romney VP has a prominent, meaningful, policy developing role.
I would hate to see a Ryan VP put in the traditional, background role of attending state funerals and opening shopping malls.
Dear Congressman Ryan:
Regarding the article in today’s National Review Online urging you to run for President of the United States, please give this serious consideration, sir. I am 73 years old, and I have never been so fearful for my country and my grandchildren and their collective future. In order to work our way out of the mess we are in, we need leadership that, rather than playing to the crowd, can understand and articulate the severity of our current situation, and the steps needed to correct our current course. I understand and even admire your hesitancy to leave your role in Congress. You have made, and continue to make, important contributions there, and the personal demands of the Presidency are fearful. But the nation now needs your gifts and skills on the larger stage.
I take the liberty of writing you not as one of your constituents but as one of your countrymen. In these very troubled days, we need our very best.
Thank you for your time, and for all your past work on our nation’s behalf.
Well, that didn't work out, but he could still play a key role as VP. He can frame the issues clearly, with humor and a smile, just the way the great RR could. He'd be a GREAT pick!
Romney - Ryan......kinda rolls off the tongue............

Also, Ryan is not afraid of Obama at all, and read him the riot act about obamacare.
I think he would be a good pick. I don’t know how much RINO he has in him, but he knows the budget and articulates it well.
At least we would have one conservative on the ticket.

Paul Ryan ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I believe that the idea is that if Rep. Ryan is picked as the vice presidential nominee, his job will be to go out and aggressively explain budgetary matters in the countryside. I think the idea is to permit Gov. Romney to rise above the fray and look presidential while Rep. Ryan slams the anti-Christ regime for wishing to destroy Medicare through neglect, and the country through overspending.
Vice presidential candidates often play a surrogate role in campaigns. Ryan versus Biden would be the perfect match-up for each candidate. Rep. Ryan would appeal to those with brains. Biden would appeal to the scum and filth of the earth.
If Gov. Romney wants to nail his victory shut, he should select Paul Ryan as his running mate and announce that VP Ryan will have a direct role in supervising the Office of Management and Budget in Romney’s first term.
This would be a check mate, winner for Romney/Ryan and for the country. This would cause an absolute meltdown for the Democrats.
