Signs that Paul Ryan May Be Romney's VP Pick
Breitbart-Big Government ^ | August 10, 2012 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 08/10/2012 4:08:22 PM PDT by arichtaxpayer

The following signs have emerged that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)--chair of the House Budget Committee, and widely respected pro-life fiscal conservative leader--could be announced as Mitt Romney's choice for Vice President--and sooner rather than later: 1. Ryan has surged on InTrade's prediction market in the past two days, making him the #1 contender ahead of Ohio Senator Rob Portman. 2. Ryan was on vacation in Colorado this week, but appeared at a memorial service today near Milwaukee for victims of Sunday's shootings at a Sikh temple... 3. ...and a mysterious charter plane from Boston to Ryan's hometown of Janesville, WI was reported this afternoon. 4. Breitbart News has learned that one major news network was alerting producers that Romney could announce his choice today... 5. ...and Romney is due to begin a bus tour tomorrow that will take him through several swing states--and which is thought to be a chance to showcase his running mate. 6. It is not unprecedented for campaigns to announce the candidate for Vice President on a Friday night. Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his pick on a late Friday night/early Saturday morning in 2008.

Paul Ryan works for me. He is wicked smart as apposed to Slow Joe Biden and is articulate.

Secret service request to Administration and leak from WH will provide right name.

If it's true it may prompt Romney to come out sooner rather than later with the announcement (if he really wants it to be a surprise).

Slaughter the chicken, read the entrails.

Still Voodoo politics at this point. Maybe Mitt has chosen, maybe not.

And just maybe, it won’t make jack WHO he chooses. The Democrats will just as willingly demonize one as another.

The mysterious plane report has already been debunked.

I really like Paul Ryan but I don’t know if he will help the ticket that much. I’m not sure he can deliver Wisconsin. He is without a doubt the smartest of the choices about the economy.

Paul Ryan is a member of the CFR.

The Council on Foreign Relations is not some benign club for politicians and policy wonks. They do have an agenda.

Ryan works. I would prefer that he stay in Congress for a few more years because we need as many conservatives there as we can get, but he’s better than a RINO or somebody ineligible like Jindal.

Instead of worrying about Romney’s VP pick, you all should be more concerned about a lack of spunk in his campaign. When is Romney going to come out swinging?

This would be most excellent.

Hate to give up the seat in congress but Ryan’s the real deal.

I've seen Ryan on the tube respond to 'gotcha' questions from DNC Media types by saying, "I don't agree with the premise of your question", rather than accepting the slanted question as valid and then getting lost in the weeds trying to answer it.

Romney could learn something from Ryan. Be forceful, direct, make no apologies and don't accept the premise of biased/slanted questions or statements.

I think you are really on to something here, to borrow JFK's famous line about his friend Joe McCarthy. I predict Romney never comes out swinging; he is "swung out" after his attacks on his primary opponents.

.

So far, Romney is pulling a McCain- too timid and afraid of offending the sob.

If somebody doesn’t get up the guts to expose this Marxist/Muslim pos, we will lose.
