I think Mormon is a lot closer to Protestant than Unitarian.

But on to an unimportant issue — What about Ryan’s House seat? WI’s primary is this Tuesday. There are no other candidates running.

Senate candidate Mark Neumann is Ryan’s predecessor (although under the 2012 lines, Neumann’s home is in District 5 rather than District 1) — would he (or any other candidate) need write-in votes to become the nominee?

I suppose Ryan could simply win Tuesday then some time before the convention resign his candidacy — or maybe Wisconsin allows candidates to run for Congress and VP at the same time; maybe not.

You would think all the stories about Ryan would have at least considered these questions though.

Also I thought I responded to a thread that said Ryan didn’t appeal to blue collar workers — but isn’t Ryan’s seat full of blue collar workers? His predecessor twice removed was Les Aspin (with Barca D and Neumann R in between).

Ryan can run for reelection to his congressional seat too. Congressmen can do that if running concurrently for President or VP. Any other office and it’s a pick one scenario.
