[John W]

Thought we needed this.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Announced right this minute!

[RummyChick]

bigger applause for ryan than romney so far

[Northern Yankee]

We love Ryan in Wisconsin!

He's a great Representative, and will surely do a wonderful job as a VP.

“The Demoncrats and the media talked the economy down 2007-2009....that is a fact.”

That FORCED US Businesses to Go Galt.

But you’ll NEVER get anyone in the Mainstream Media to admit it, if they want to keep that media job, outside of Fox News.

[factmart]

I’m from Wisconsin and Romney is picking the Babe Ruth of VP.

If this is how he’s going to lead,

THANK GOD!!!!!!

[OldEarlGray]

What time is liftoff for Kolob?

[exit82]

Amen to your post 79.

[Islander7]

Allen West...Secretary Defense...John Bolton Secretary of State

[PghBaldy]

Obama told a woman they should have given her mother a pill to kill her instead of a pacemaker. He is a lying vampire. Romney needs to have that in ads.

[sushiman]

Yes .

[KansasGirl]

Romney is giving a very good speech.

I think Paul Ryan is an excellent choice.

[PghBaldy]

You are very welcome.

[jennychase]

Common Ground - Red flag

[Private_Sector_Does_It_Better]

Paul Ryan will kick Biden’s a$$ in the debates soooooooooo bad that we just may see him cry.

[tatown]

The plan to evict Obama is being executed right before our very eyes.

[Excellence]

Neither Romney nor Ryan should ever use a ‘prompter. That would be a nice slam on O’Mugabe.

[Pappy Smear]

Somebody should go find that truck that is stuck in reverse. Beep, beep, beep, beep. Or am I the only one hearing that?

[penelopesire]

This choice also opens the door for a pretty big October surprise on the whole ‘who is Obama anyway). His college record stuff is not going away now for sure and the college records are the key that hides the rest of the questions surrounding Obama.

[RummyChick]

repealing and replacing Obamacare is the promise.

[paudio]

Unlike McCain & Palin, RR have known each other personally for quite a while and went out campaign together long before Ryan was picked as VP. Palin was chosen partly because she's a female (flame me if you want, but you know it's true) and might have 'balanced' the ticket, in addition to conservative firebrand (albeit unknown then). I didn't see personal chemistry between the two beyond the campaign business. At most it's like a senior guy and his protege, not his equal partner.

I believe Ryan will play more role in the campaign than Palin did.
