Well I greatly admire Paul Ryan...but since a VP candidate is usually chosen to bring big state electoral votes...I have to wonder, regardless of size, if Ryan could deliver Wisconsin for the ticket?

Not trying to be argumentative...just wondering since there is so much noise from the left in your state. BTW, I live in Oregon - a lost cause I’m afraid.

Personally I’d be happy to vote Ryan for POTUS.

Like Delaware (Biden)? Or, Wyoming (Cheney)? Or, Palin (Alaska)? Or, Gore? (TN) a Southern State paired with a Southern State. It seems to me that all that conventional wiscodom about picking the VP candidate for what he/she could bring to the polls was abandoned after Reagan and Bush.

I'm just tweaking you a little bit. I know that the ticket would never be Santorum and Ryan -- 2 young, handsome, smart, Catholic, pro-life leaders, although I'd vote for them in a heartbeat. And Wisconsin is used to being like Rodney Dangerfield, although we've produced a lot of great leaders here. (Even Dick Cheney is a product of our flagship University.)

Why do you think the left makes such a hulla-balloo? They are scared to death, and they are going to be trounced in the recall election. They are already talking about changing their candidate because Gov. Walker is polling so strong. I wouldn't be surprised to see WI turn red in the November election. The unionistas have awakened a sleeping tiger.

Wisconsin has Gov. Scott Walker, Rep. Paul Ryan, Sen. Ron Johnson, and a whole back bench of lesser known, but highly competent, leaders in the legislature.

Pssssst! Shhhhhh! We're greener than Oregon.

Cheney was from Wyoming. Not exactly a lot of people living there. :)
