Ryan is a good pick. While I am immensely disappointed in Romney as the nominee, only because I feel like we could have done a lot better, It’s time to focus on getting Obama out of the White House and recapturing the Senate. While some think that holding the House and recapturing the Senate would be good enough, there are a couple things to think about. First, is that if Barack Obama were able to remain President, he would be able to nominate more judges to the Supreme Court, and the lessor courts. Even with a Republican Senate, I would have doubts that they wouldn’t give Obama what he wants in a Supreme Court nominee. Second, just because we retain the House and regain the Senate wouldn’t mean that we would be able to again in 2014. For Obama to remain President, especially when he would no longer be accountable through another election, and the possibility that a Pelosi/Reid/Shumer/Durbin Congress could make a comeback. Now that is a scary thought

Before I went to bed last night, I had a brief worry that this was a massive head-fake and that we’d all be groaning at some “WTF?” choice this morning. Glad to see that I had nothing to worry about. Ryan is a great pick.

On to November.

It can only help him. All people know about Ryan is what the press has said. When they see him destroy Biden AND Obama in the VP debate using common sense, he’ll pull a lot of votes.

….the Dems have wasted no time trotting out the ole playbook, and have labeled Romney’s veep pick as “an extremist” who will “take away your medicare.” Same old scare-the-geezers crap!

If Romney and Ryan play to their potential, they win. Mitt’s campaign has to be one about positive ideas and action, not trying not to lose. The Ryan pick is an excellent first step.

@Tango–If the intent is to “scare the geezers”, it will not work. I’m deliriously happy about Ryan as a solid VP pick. Plus I did not hang my varicose vein on the parking brake getting out of the car this morning so I am having a marvelous day. (Hint: HST was President when I was born.) I also performed well at the pistol matches today.

Democrats are all acting so excited about Ryans pick as the VP that I’d have to think its really a great pick. All Im hearing today from the liberal talking heads, is how this pick is going to be a big help to Obama’s relection chances. Wait till the debates begin. Ryan will wiped the floor with Biden. Romney will wipe the floor with Obama. Obama is clueless when it comes to jobs. Obama destroys jobs. Obama sides with the far left and the Muslim world. Both enemies of a free America. Thank God for Paul Ryan as our next Vice President and perhaps future President.

BREAKING NEWS from the DNC…
An anonymous source has contacted Debbie W. Schultz to relay that when Paul Ryan was in kindergarten, he was rough-housing with another boy on the monkey bars and gave this other boy a bloody nose. The anonymous source said it hurt really bad and he had to run crying to the school nurse.

This will make the MSM rounds and Sunday talk shows. They will hammer him with this.
