Mitt Romney will announce Saturday morning that he has picked Rand Paul (R-WI) as his Vice President.. Ryan has strong support from Conservatives and Tea Party members. Ryan, only 42 years old, has strong economic and intellectual credentials. Ryan serves as chairman of the House Budget Committee. He has demonstrated particular acumen when criticizing Obama's economic policies and health care legislation titled Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare").
Romney's campaign has not announced the decision publicly, but insiders have confirmed the pick to the Associated Press. Romney's campaign plan also landed near Ryan's residence in Janesville, Wisconsin. Romney's son Tagg joined Ryan at the funeral of several Wisconsin Sikh temple victims.
The Wall Street Journal praised Romney's decision with an editorial which states, "The case for Mr. Ryan is that he best exemplifies the nature and stakes of this election. More than any other politician, the House budget chairman has defined those stakes well as a generational choice about the role of government and whether America will once again become a growth economy or sink into interest-group dominated decline."
What do you think of Mitt Romney picking Paul Ryan? Will Ryan make a good Vice President? Did Romney pick Ryan to avoid a wildcard like Sarah Palin in 2008? Should Romney have picked a woman or minority?

In all likelihood, you are correct about FL. In that case, Romney has to get a light blue state. People will probably start talking about WS, but Ryan has never won in a statewide race there--I don't see it flipping.
Romney has been running for so long (at least 6 years) and has always been able to say, "I'll fix it in 3 or 4 months." It is easy to forget that 3 months from now the election will be over. While I personally think there is still the off chance that Romney might be able to close before election day, for the first time I think a serious person might say that Romney has probably lost.
He knows the finical issues of the country very well, BUT the media has been demonizing him for some time. So Romney has picked someone with a built in negative.
He is from a swing state, which might help flip it, but only for 10 electoral votes IF the state flips. He should have found someone from PA instead or Virginia.
In a one one debate with goofy Biden, he should win hands down, but then again he will be fighting a hostile media bent on protecting Biden.
We shall see, but I'll vote for a Romney / Puxatawny Phil team over Obama any day. Hey look, a popular figure from PA...there you go Mitt
Ryan knows Obamacare in and out and a majority of Americans don't want it. Hit Obama right between the eyes with all it's hidden nastiness.
Just the opposite of what "Most" Americans are.
Paul Ryan spent most of his early years as a Ski Bum, and was inspired by book writer Ann Rand who has an atheist philosophy. It inspired Ryan so much that it’s required reading in his office for all his interns and staff.
Paul Ryan voted in favor of the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, which resulted in today economic disaster because of de-regulation of Americas financial system, your living the way you are today because of people like Paul Ryan.
Ryan voted in favor of the Iraq War resolution, authorizing President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq.
Ryan voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Wall Street bailout that precipitated the Tea Party movement, and the bailout of GM and Chrysler.
Paul Ryan want's to cancel Medicare proposing that starting in 2021, the federal government would no longer pay for Medicare benefits for any Americans, and yet today (August 11, 2012 ) Ryan and Romney tell America they are pro-Medicare for Americans.

Ryan released his a new version of his Roadmap for America In late January 2010.
The modified plan would: give across the board tax cuts by reducing income tax rates; eliminate income taxes on capital gains, dividends, and interest; and abolish the corporate income tax, estate tax, and alternative minimum tax. The plan would privatize a portion of Social Security, eliminate the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance, and privatize Medicare. Does that sound like something that is going to bennifit most Americans, "NOPE". But if will bennifit the wealthy 10 fold.
Paul Ryan's plan "would raise taxes for 95 percent of Americans.
So yes, I agree paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are perfect candidates to totally destroy everything America was built on, and they are going to tell Americans the opposite to get elected to office, like they are telling you today.
And stupid Americans will believe them untill it's to late to stop.
And the Republicans just sat on their butts and watched doing nothing about that situation like they were doing OK themselves, so let the average Americans get screwed.
Both republican and democrat have been trying to get America on track now for 200 years.............and look at where we're at economically ?????????
Time to change the political thinking to something new.
Something like the Green Party!
Fact is both democrat and republican ledership has not worked for America because they both are corrupt and no longer think they are working for we the people.
They think we the people are working for them.
That's why i vote for the Green Party.
That's who is destroying America, people without a clue!
Once again..........
Well the average multi-millionaire America.
Another lying big spending war monger NWO thug president with his buddy that wishes to shackle We The People with a debt we did not create.
America - Land of the wimpy Sheep and Home of the Slaves!
