Here's where the comedy begins...

Comments:

Yes, for the Democrats

Ryan is GREAT for Obama's re-election!

This will hand Florida to Obama.

Cuts in benefits simultaneous with tax breaks for highest incomes will just not fly, and that's that. It's over.

It will ensure the Senior (AARP) vote for obama and it will sway the catholic vore as well.

He's the right pick for the FAR RIGHT WING WACKOS. He's the wrong pick for America. Hopefully he will help Romney go lower in the polls.

Ryan seals Romney's far right orientation, raising the likelihood that Obama will be reelected.

It's good for Obama and the rest of us though. This will swing the undecided states for Obama and put more into play.

With Ryan, Romnrey just gave the office to Obama

Predictable red meat for the uber-conservs to ingest, can't wait for the media vetting to begin!

For those of us who support Obama, this is a great choice! Thanks, Mitt.

He's so extreme right wing, with his intention to do away with medicare and soc. security, that independents will flock to Obama

Ryan appeals to the Tea Party/fringe elements. Forget about the female and senior vote, Mitt!

The base will be happy, but independents can't abide extremists.

This is a great pick for the Obama team. Ryan wants to gut Medicare. There goes the older white vote.

Ending Medicare and all the other crazy stuff Paul Ryan is for will insure the small percentage of undecided's fall for Obama.

Ryan believes in having firm ideals and standing by them. Mitt is not going to look good at all in comparison.

Yes. His budget does not ad up. He does not know math at all, just like Romney. this is a match made in heaven for Democrats.

Is this supposed to show Romney's character? Accepting a radical that has already damaged the brand with his extreme policies. Gee!!!


Then there's this guy:
A man of character with bold ideas. His choice will please some people and alienate others.

Ya think?
