He has been my pick from the start. I can't wait for the debates between them. He is the only one who can totally pick apart Obama on economic issues and leave only liberal shreds behind.
Ryan has crossover appeal. If he gets in the race, he wins. Ryan would trash Obama in any debate.
I like Paul Ryan but I think for right now he needs to stay where he’s at and give ‘em what for on the budget committee. I like Christi but he’s no Conservative. If Bill Kristol recommends someone, I’m suspect of it......but what do I know?
bump.
Isn’t Ryan the one who was shilling the pro Super-Committee vote, along with Boehner and Cantor?
Hmmmmm.....not so sure. I don’t think he did a good job communicating to the general public what his budget was about. Plus, I don’t think his budget went far enough.
I love him and think he’s the best debater the GOP has — polite but firm. Willing to work with the Left but not willing to play along with “increases are cuts” nonsense. I have donated to him and his PAC. But its too late for him to run for president. He is not a Rich Perry who can get a national organization up and running in a month or two. He will flame out and diminish himself. Moreover, he will have plenty of power on the budget committee. That is where he is best suited. Having said that, if he wanted to run just to hold candidates feet to the fire on spending, I wouldn’t mind that. Run without really trying to win.
I love the way hannity’s show is pre-taped during the day so when some important vote or race is going on live at night (like in WI) at the same time he's busy talking about Obama’s weeks events or some prostitute school teacher scandal.
He might as well jump in:
Rick Perry backed an already-climate-crusading Al Gore in ‘88
He led the way in support of raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars. No thanks.
We need Paul Ryan to stay in the House for some needed political seasoning. He could be an excellent Presidential candidate in 2016 or 2020.
I think Ryan should stay in the House and burnish his credentials as a budget expert and conservative leader.
But then again, I thought Palin would have been much better served if she fought through the nonsense and remained as Alaska Gov. for her full term.
But what do I know?
Ryan would throw us socons under the bus, I’d rather have Michelle Bachmann. Rick Perry is a distant second as he seems more conservative than Sarah.
Sarah will wipe the floor with anybody they put up. Perhaps the more folks the better.
Ryan is the only one besides Palin that I can REALLY excited about. However, whomever runs in the end gets my vote over OBozo.
Palin/Ryan, or Ryan/Palin has a nice ring to it.
NO PAUL, don’t run!
In the eyes of many, Ryan has gone from near-Hero to near-Zero in the last month, by standing behind the Boehner Bill, yet always sure to say that he thought “cut Cap and Balance” was a better solution.
They’re apparently going to have to try to promote him as a candidate by playing on some cryptic insider/outsider omniscience that only he possesses, having seen the budget
“from both sides now”.
Paul Ryan should stay in the House and accomplish something first. On what basis do we know he has what it takes to run an administration? I’ll stick with Sarah Palin.
I was impressed that his Republican constituents booed him for defending Tax Breaks For The Wealthy. Maybe the elderly can be forced into the private insurance market. Especially if that becomes a litmus-test issue for fellow candidates. Run Paul, run !
