Yes. I did not know all you just said but I did have mixed feelings about him possibly being chosen as the VP. I’m not upset, just mixed feelings.

You think there’s a way he save his seat while running with Romney? Either way we don’t want to lose his seat to a dem.

Might depend what the rules in Wisconsin are. If he wins his seat and the Presidential election, who gets to appoint his replacement if he resigns from the House? It also depends if Wisconsin law allows him to be on the ballot for two different positions at the same time. Delaware law allowed Biden to do so. He won both elections and was sworn in as Senator before resigning several days later to be sworn in as V.P. Maybe Wisconsin would end up having a special election if Ryan won but resigned the seat?

In late August 2008, he was picked by Obama to be his running mate. Biden nevertheless continued to run for Senate re-election as well as Vice President,[104] as permitted by Delaware state law.[46] On November 4, 2008, Biden was re-elected as senator, in addition to winning the vice presidency.[105]

Delaware's Democratic governor, Ruth Ann Minner, announced on November 24, 2008, that she would appoint Biden's longtime senior adviser Ted Kaufman to succeed Biden in the Senate.[109]
