According to NBC. This helps Romney how?
So Romney goes from having no plan to hijacking someone else's horrible plan. Nice. Its always good when you select a running mate who has put forth actual details when you haven't. Makes you look strong! Especially when the details are economic bull .
Anyone here outside of Yoni and WC actually think Paul Ryan's plans are worth a damn?
Paul Ryan is essentially a male version of Sarah Palin.
With this move, I think Romney will have a lock over the Anglo Male Coservative vote.
The WSJ was pushing for that selection.
Analysis here:

He won't even win Wisconsin.
And Ryan's budget sucks, it us skewed in favor of the wealthy, it introduces "vouchers" for SS, and does not even balance the budget anyway mostly because it does not cut military spending.
PS - I live in Wisconsin.
We'll see where this goes... it's fairly obvious ANY pick can curbstomp Joe in a debate... but looking at where Mitch is at, I thought he would go with a popular guy from a swing state (Ohio, Florida, possible NJ with Christie)...
This just solidifies the pandering to the right... oh, well... definitely no horse in this race for me...
Willard
a truce on his tax cheating
What in the is Romney thinking here? He's already got the teabagger conservative vote since he's running against the nigLuck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers _Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_. Why would he not try to get someone to chip away centrists disillusioned with Obama?
Son, this is the same cat who spent the rest of the week reminding voters that he invented Obamacare and begging Obama to stop talking about his taxes.... Willard doesn't know a thing about conservatism, or apparently, running a campaign even with 8 years to prepare tbh....
Ryan's plan to fix/help the economy is on the same level as jump to conclusions mats but he is definitely not a male version of Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was a joke and one of the dumbest human beings to ever be on a major party ticket in the history of America.
How are the neo-cons going to handle the fact that Willard is a Mormon and Ryan is a Catholic?
Just fine I bet. Question is, how are the Liberals, Socialists, Communists, and Marxists going to handle it?
Ask them and let us know.
Seriously, aren't you supposed to pick a VP who gets you more votes? Not one who scares away the voters still up in the air?
I can accept that as your opinion, but mine differs. I believe he was picked to add to the votes by reasons that you might not agree with, because you don't agree with them.
They'll be joining the Conservatives (actual ones, not neocons) and Independents in laughing their asses off at yet another "electable" GOP failure....
I don't understand going right when he already has the right-wing vote completely locked up. It made more sense when McCain did it since the right wasn't behind him until Palin, but President Uncle Tom ensures the wingnuts will be turning out in force for Romney regardless of his VP pick.
He should've picked the Ohio guy and at least lock in that state. I don't know, maybe he thinks Ryan can actually talk about the economy for him. Because he sure as heck hasn't convinced anybody he knows what he's doing.
Well, for once he didn't make the safe pick. Ryan is perhaps the riskiest choice he could make. The Obama campaign is going to hammer him now over the Ryan plan for Medicare. Romney's lead with seniors is going to evaporate. Despite the fact that the Ryan plan is not going to affect seniors currently on Medicare, you better believe the Obama campaign is going to make them think it is. I don't see Ryan helping with independents. My only guess is that Romney is praying that the economy heads into a free fall and he wins by default.
Don't count on it. The reason why conservative don't win is they try to play to moderates. They win when they maintain a conservative voice.
uh? this again? they don't have the votes to win with the base. Neither do the Democrats.
At least he didn't pick a Tea Potty... guess that's the silverlining on this pick...
Well, Paul Ryan is pretty much their economic idol so in a way he did.
I was reading he's still too "old Washington DC" and not a "true patriot"... whatever that's supposed to mean...
That is the story Republicans always tell. Lets see if it turns out to be true once that conservative Medicare plan is front and center.
