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.

I heard Hugh Hewitt talking to Representative John Campbell about this on his radio show a few minutes ago, and Campbell said Ryan would be driving financial reform as VP, and could end up being be one of the most influential VPs in the history of the country.
Even if Ryan doesn’t ‘help’ the ticket he sure wouldn’t hurt. They typical naive female might be lured away from 0bama’s ill-perceived swagger and bogus ‘war on women’ fight and onto Ryan’s baby blues and Elvis-like hair. To the womenz, it’s all about charm and SEXUAL ATTRACTION not ideology, ya know!
Just heard Congressman John Campbell (R-CA), discuss this on Hugh Hewitt’s show.
Surprised to learn that having Ryan as VP would be the best place for him.
From there he could select OMB Sec. and provide product to Congress.
I was worried he’d be a great loss, if he left Congress, but Campbell put those concerns to rest.
So, now there is someone I could promote beyond Rubio.
Before criticizing my 1st & 2nd picks, be able to substantiate who you believe would ADD MORE VOTES, for a Romney ticket.
Probably when he can spend some money....i.e. after he is officially nominated.
If we really want Romney to come out swinging, we need to convince him that Obama is a conservative Repubican.
and btw, love Ryan.
You better spend more time worrying about the communists supporting Obama’s agenda and a little less time suggesting the CFR is some single minded conspiracy group.
Sunday’s paper has coupons for tin-foil.
So is Newt Gingrich, hard to find a known political figure that s not a member of CFR, or some other NWO Organization.
I think Romney will get tough when he needs to be. In my opinion, I think his team has played a good game so far. Obama has engaged in all kinds of savagery, and for what? He’s still more than likely behind. I think this is political rope-a-dope.
Good summary. He is also wicked smart.
Biden ran for his seat as he ran for VP.
Exactly. Watch obastard wreck his cred with the middle (and even CNN) while wasting millions. Except for us political junkies, this is still too early. Bank the $$$$$ and then swamp the airwaves the 6$$$$$ weeks before the election when it matters.
Heard on Rush yesterday that Romney will most likely wait until the Olympics are done to ramp up. Point....the electorate/sheeple are not paying attention right now and most likely wont until mid-September. If Ryan is the VP pick, Romney already knows that he is VERY capable of taking on the administration as well as the media.
Romney ~ Ryan 2012
We need a good conservative Veep. It’s in Romney’s best interests. The lefties are nuts and are going to become very violent, and a good conservative veep may give them second thoughts about acting out in violence against Romney.
Paul Ryan works for me. He is wicked smart as apposed to Slow Joe Biden and is articulate.
If there is a Veep debate scheduled it will be an instant classic. A comb-over, close to 40 year DC careerist spewing nonsense against a good looking, articulate young Republican who has the ability to hammer Biden on any facts.
Can’t wait for the first in a series of replies from Ryan “There you go again Joe making stuff up”.
CFR is home to Globalists.
It is all about money, power, and who will eventually wield both.
Globalism can have at least two different and opposing meanings. One is the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations, something the communists claim for themselves. You know, we’re doing it for the children bee-ess!
The Second is viewing the entire world as a proper sphere for one nation to project political influence for an egalitarian purpose, such as maintaining world peace through international commerce. In this case, the United States has refined this second in an attempt to maintain global stability and peace through the domination of international commerce and the monetary structure, using the projection of military strength to establish global-wide security and protect international businesses. This has been supported by both conservative and liberal politicians, with both Democrats and Republicans involved over the past decades.
That is, until Obama arrived on the scene.
Obama is a champion of Global Social Justice (communism) to be initiated through the United Nations.
These two groups are struggling to see who controls the U.S. government. Wall Street’s business model is international in scope and must have security overseas in order for commerce to thrive.
Romney, and Wall Street in particular, care not a wit for conservative values. First and foremost, they see themselves as world citizens, responsible for maintaining peace and security world-wide through commerce. And of course, getting rich is important, too, as it keeps the military ‘machine’ primed and ready to maintain the security overseas.
Unfortunately, that military is paid for by the tax revenue paid by U.S. citizens and staffed by their sons and daughters; many of those citizens no longer have jobs, as those have all been moved offshore by the above mentioned “world citizens” in pursuit of greater profits.
Neither group gives a damn about the rights of individuals. The common man or woman on the street is just a “unit” to be taxed or obliterated, it matters not to them.
The last thing that either group wants is for conservatives with Bibles and guns asserting their God-given rights and demanding that Washington, D.C., changes how it does business.
Thing is, waiting till after the convention might be too late.
Thing is, waiting till after the convention might be too late.
Thing is, waiting till after the convention might be too late. Right now he looks weak and ineffective. May be hard to counter that perception later.
Jeez, I thought that the signs definitively showed that whtsisname would be the VP pick?! WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?
I’m down with Ryan. Anybody but Rubio, Jindal or Christie.
