NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has picked Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan to be his running mate, according to a Republican with knowledge of the development. They will appear together Saturday in Norfolk, Va., at the start of a four-state bus tour to introduce the newly minted GOP ticket to the nation.

Bottom Line if the Headliner can't carry the ticket it is a lost cause.
John McCain and so many others have proven it time after time.
Awesome choice!
Part of the Group, along with Mitch and the Gang, that went right along and willingly met with The Undocumented Coffee Server at Blair House.
They all should have never shown to begin with.
Ryan is great I know he is great. Ryan in the VP office is effectively neutralized and can do nothing beyond what the president wants him to do. The VP can not cut spending only congress can do that.
“Ryan won’t sell in Florida”
Rubio will do that. He is still campaigning for Romney. Get a grip, we’re winning Florida.
BTW, the youth is not going to turn out for the assclown Kenyan this time.
Paul Ryan Thrashes Obama’s Speech: “Exploiting People’s Emotions” Is “Demagoguery”!

Ryan is the man to bring the base into our camp for beating Obama if you cant see it too bad for you!
Romney WINS in 2012 and so does Ryan. Then the people that deserve to be happy will be, and those that aren’t happy with that result can pound sand and go cry some for Obama.
LOL It's cool drinking and posting are OK LOL
Hmm...I don't think they issue cyber PWI's
Just in Case: As a PSA I do not endorse drinking and posting which can lead to bad spelling, very poor grammer, and whacked out crazy thoughts processes. Thank you.
Romney winning would be the result of running unopposed. Then if he acted as he said he would when speaking to the student body at the Citadel he would eclipse Reagan and leave him looking like the Democrat he was in the thirties. But if Romney acts the same as he did when governor of Massachusetts then he will be reviled and hated to such an extent that Ryan will be painted the same. Actions have always spoken louder than words.
Just think of him as “future President Ryan” and you will feel better.
Nominating a future leader of the party is a priceless gift that can only be given by a man with vision who actually cares about the future of the country.
Think about it.
As a bonus Ryan will be the attack-dog on the campaign trail. That is a game changer. He will chew up the Obiden team.
Ryan is the man who could bring the base. What causes you to think Romney will let him do so?
Remember McCain putting Palin in a cage and not letting her take it to Obama, well watch the repeat.
So sez the rumor mill. Thanks OPS4.
I agree. This was an awesome pick.
Nominating a future leader of the party is a priceless gift that can only be given by a man with vision who actually cares about the future of the country.
Neutralizing someone who could be a future leader and set back your political agenda is a political ploy that has been used before. Teddy Roosevelt was picked as VP to side track him into oblivion. Due to the death of the man doing the picking it did not work as expected.
Romney wants to win, McCain didn’t.
Troll Zotz, Romney Ryan will win
Ryan is good. Romney should pull out NOW and save
America, but his destruction of the GOP and Gov. Palin
requires he continue.

“Why we can forget Paul Ryan for VP”
The Guardian - 5 minutes ago
“The biggest reason to select Paul Ryan is that he’s adored by the Republican base. That was one of the big arguments for selecting Sarah Palin, and it made ...”
Those polls wat overpolls Democrafs, esp this new crapola Fox poll.
*********************
The only Fox polls I’ve seen are done online and the “responders” are free to declare themselves as D/R/I and vote any way they wish. They are garbage.
I agree with you that Rasmussen is, and has been for years, the most accurate poll because they don’t overweight Dems and they only poll likely voters.
I was reading the AP link at Drudge and all of a sudden it refreshed and said the article I was looking for is no longer there!
