I wish he wouls have picked Pawlenty or Portman and gone with the “adults pick adults” who are ready to run this country approach.

Ryan won’t sell in Florida or even much of the midwest. We may be looking at solid south - Okla - and Utah...basically a landslide. (shaking my head).

Good grief. I wouldn’t even RECOGNIZE either of those guys if I saw them in the news, and I keep up with current events. Paul Ryan has made quite a national name for himself.

Biden Vs Palin was bad enough. Luckily for him the press turned her into damaged goods and nobody would listen to her, or at least not enough. I thought she wiped the floor with him.

Ryan is going to steam roll him.

Good grief - nobody in the undecided category knows cr@p about Ryan either - and when they are taught most will run like rabbits. You can't get the undecided vote (especially the young undecideds) by preaching fiscal responsibility...you have to lie to them...otherwise they will go for the Obama goodies.

I think we can all finally be happy. :)

Ryan will preach “fiscal responsibility” (he has to..it’s on his record bigtime)...and Barack will preach “fiscal responsibility with an understanding to those who need help”.

Once O gets on the “college loan bailout tune” he will have all the youngsters and the parents who are afraid for their kids being indebted right in his %&*^in pocket.

Now that’s not saying that the lying O will follow through after the election...but what does he care as long as he is re-elected.

Maybe if Romney wasn’t running against Hugo Chavez’s little brother.

giving Governor Scott Walker/Paul an overwhelming victory in the attempted
recall (57% - 42%!) you have resisted national union power, tens of millions in
ads, celebrity exhortations and outside “activists” – ykou
have shown the liberal-labor cabal that we are all mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it any more!
This was the Beginning of The Tea Party Success, now we take it National Go Romney/Ryan

And Obama has a four year record proving he didn't get this done.

Quite the opposite. He'd have nothing to lose in a second term.
