Agree. My cousin went there with Ernie Kellerman. They were classmates at the same high school I attended.

Portman is a very nice guy, my former congressman, and my Senator. Despite some who tried to paint him as a liberal, he has been a very consistent conservative vote throughout his political career.

Portman is not a barn-burner, though. He doesn’t set things on fire. Instead, he methodically works his way through what comes his way, and he does it thoroughly and professionally. He is a good man with no real raps on him other than being Bush’s budget guy.

While he is liked in Ohio, I wouldn’t say he has a rabid following by any means. He probably would have helped to carry Ohio, but that because of favorite-son status and not because he is broadly supported.

I like Portman, but Ryan is a better choice.

The first time I saw Ryan was during the televised Republican healthcare summit with Obama.

When Ryan spoke, his was articulate and in command of the facts and the errors in Obamacare legislation. He spoke of those without referring to notes.

He impressed me then. I had hoped he would jump into the presidential fray last spring.

I am honestly surprised that Romney selected him, but I am glad Romney did. There is no other Republican I would have preferred. I was so apprehensive that Romney might go with Jeb B.

One of the local high schools did exactly the same thing.

Unfortunately, CA will be a tip in the spear of the attack on Obama and the direction the country will go. but, it would be nice to see, late in the election, if R2 let out a challenge to CA to get this one right and bring it back to RED country.

Jeb Bush would have been demagogued so badly that it would have ended Romney's campaign.

Funny thing that change. On campus, the Redskin logo was always treated with great respect. Several murals on campus showing the history of local native tribes. The area has a very rich history of native settlements. A lot of archeological sites. Always treated with respect.
Even the required "native American" group on campus was against changing the logo.

But out-of-town PC-istats forced the change.

YES! Another alum here who says Redskins forever!

Economics professor Rich Hart is one of the good guys, IMHO.

He would but we probably need to keep him in the senate. One great thing about Romney’s pick is that he didn’t take a good conservative vote out of the senate. Well need every vote and every voice of reason as possible next year.

Hell, I hope he runs into Ben Roethlisberger in this life. Preferably while Big Ben is driving a Ford F-150 Raptor!
