EXCERPTS: NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has picked Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan to be his running mate, according to a Republican with knowledge of the development. They will appear together Saturday in Norfolk, Va., at the start of a four-state bus tour to introduce the newly minted GOP ticket to the nation.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to disclose the decision.

    Absolutely. After they laid into Romney with their mean-man canards, he threw it right back into their faces. It was priceless.

    Ryan is beyond the zone of "special interest politics" and single-issue candidate. He's the all-around right choice.

    I really don't know. I LIKE him immensely. He's articulate, attractive, All American, a family man and fiscally responsible. But the question is, will 'they' like him. Will he appeal to any one outside the Conservative borders?

    I did already see where someone mentioned that he wanted to get rid of Medicare and that the seniors will have to be buying health insurance and they won't have the money...... That really irked me.

    Regarding Medicare, I get Part A (hospitalization) at no charge. (HA HA you better believe we ARE paying for it somewhere else). That's all I get from Medicare! Everything else I have to BUY already!!! Where does this come from that we are getting FREE MEDICAL CARE?? We are NOT! And the hospitalization we get has a co-pay!!

    Please seniors (no, not high school) let it be known that your Medicare is NOT free!!

    both are very levelheaded business minded men, not given to "social engineering" and who actually understand what a budget is and what it is for.
    they also actually understand what the Constitution is and what if is for.

    A couple of questions:
    What is the most important issue in America (and the world) right now? Ans. The economy.
    Who in congress understands the economy best? Ans. Ryan.
    Do you remember when BHO was accusing McCain of not understanding the economy?
    Let the little Keynesian accuse ether if these guys of not understanding the economy; it won’t work.
    But, what an argument for the Dems, one guy is too nice and the other one is too smart – weird.

    Time will tell, but if the country is really serious about reducing our debt and regaining
    our prestige around the world, they will embrace Paul Ryan. He is a budge genius,
    which the Republicans realized when they advanced him to the budget committee
    chairmanship over all those old fogies in the congress, like McConnell, Lugar and
    Boehner in the House. But beyond that he is well spoken and has some courage
    I don't see in the others. BTW, I think Boehner is a dud, and wouldn't mind seeing
    him go. I tip my hat to Romney who has chosen a strong personality to be his
    running mate..... Romney is a nice man with good family values and an ability
    to make decisions that would help our economy improve, but he needed a little
    fire in the belly kind of guy to take on the lies of 0bama/et al.

    I like Allen West, who seems more of a favorite with Republicans
    here on SH, but I wondered about his outspoken and honest ways, esp. with those
    Blacks who are entrenched in the entitlement system. It would have deflated the
    racist balloon the Democrats float all the time, and that would have been fun to
    see, but there is still hope that he would be in the administration as an advisor
    on military/foreign affairs.

    I think Ryan may be able to bring back some respectability to the VP position. He is very smart, experienced, and good looking (sorry but some women think that matters).

    I believe he will help us get back to economic stability so our businesses can grow again. We NEED jobs! (5 Million or so)

    I like West too but the left has vilified him so much. I just read that the CBC is now insulted, 6 months after West seved Chick Fil A for lunch. What a crock!

    Yeah, S*f*ri posted that story a few days ago, and my reaction was about the same.
    It gave me a chuckle because ole AC Hastings, these six months after the fact, quickly
    ran to Huffington Post and gave them the story and added, "we were all offended"....
    Why would he do that? I thought they were afraid Allen West, in an interview, would
    tell how he took Chick-Fil-A to a CBC meeting and all his Black peers loved it.......
    Wouldn't that demonstrate what hypocrites the members of the CBC are.... out there
    now saying the didn't like the chicken from Chick-Fil-A.......... Oh, the 0-botic Progressives hate Allen because he has their number and isn't afraid to speak.

    It is one of the reasons I love Allen West.. he can shake up the Black power
    structure. He is very bright, and he don't take no sh*t! How did Allen know
    six months ago that Chicken-Fil-A would become an issue? I don't
    know, but I think he did. Of course, it might be a racist stereotype to think
    Blacks love their "fried chicken" but when it is within the family,
    who can accuse Allen of that?

    In a Romney administration, I think West would have more influence
    on foreign policy, esp. the Middle East.......he know the dangers
    of PC in our policy toward Islam................And Islam, I think is the
    greatest danger to the Western world. It's for d*mn sure this
    POTUS wouldn't be celebrating Ramadan every year and hanging
    this ornament with Mao on it on the w/h Christmas tree..... Che ornament on whitehouse xmas tree

    That is really spit in your face and on your faith chutzpa.

    Someone asked him why he joined the CBC, and he said it was
    to honor his parents. He sure is a thorn in their side, but he fits
    the criteria for membership...he is a Black congressman........LOL

    I'm gonna put my money on Ryan, he was probably vetted more indepth than any POTUS candidate, because of the Palin attacks.
    The politics of deception and division have made many Americans sick of this election and these negative attacks will continue to cause increased voter apathy.

    My concern is about those who will not vote, not those who know Obama must go. We really need to get out family friends and communities prepared to get out every person to vote, we need to get LOUDER!

    Their using the spaghetti test, throw it at the wall to see if it sticks. That test is a failure, just like these deceptive personal attacks to destroy their opponents.
