JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Even before Wisconsin sent Paul Ryan to Congress, he was meticulously carving a path that seemed to point only upward.

As a young Capitol Hill staffer, he impressed Republican lawmakers with his hustle and intellectual curiosity. He blended quickly with an elite crop of conservative thinkers. By his 30s, he was a congressman on his way to becoming a GOP name brand with his push-the-edge budget proposals.

The usual role of the VP candidate is to play attack dog. I think Ryan will be well suited for this role. I expect Romney will try and stay above the fray and act presidential. Time will tell.

You think Ryan will defend naked Rumneys socialist agenda? Defend Rumneys liberalism? If he does then he is not a conservative in any sense of the word. And if he really is a conservative then he is in a real tight pigeon hole as the Veep. Rumney and his staff will do their best to keep a tight rein on him and his conservatism.
