Wait a minute! Some of the political insiders (Krauthammer, Ingraham, etc.) have told us the field is already set?

If true, everyone else can go home. This would be my ideal. :-).

I love competition the more the merrier I say.

He better be sure. You know Perry, Romney, Bachmann et al have considered and prepared for the oppo research. If Ryan has not (and he may have), he’ll need the best possible consultants to work through those issues in a timely manner. All it takes is one carefully revealed skeleton to destroy the effort.

Ryan’s presence would certainly elevate the level of debate, IMO. A good thing.

Given the field, he’d be my choice.

Talk about over-hype.

The whole young guns thing is thin marketing BS. sure he can talk budget numbers, but that’s a big snooze fest. Plus, his Budget was mostly hype - didn’t balance for 10+ years, he voted for the Boner bill, etc.

No thanks.

Bachman is still the only true conservative currently in the race.

PS. Perry = Amnesty

Having met the man and tried to work with his office in opposing federal grants and pork spending, I can heartily say no thanks.

He is a media figure, but not much of a representative - he doesn’t listen and couldn’t care less. He’s just as bad as Feingold was - self-important and too focused on the “higher cause” to give a rip about anything or anyone else.

Ryan is just another DC insider with a slightly different gimmick.

Paul Ryan.

Pragmatist. Conservative. Willing to fight the Liberals, full-force.

I would support him 100%, even over Perry “DREAM Act” Perry.

Anyone else know more about him than what we’ve seen in the budget talks? I’m very intrigued and as log as I don’t find out he wants to legalize illegal aliens or is pro gay marriage/pro abortion I’d have to say he’d get my vote.
