Prediction--WI Prick Paul Ryan will be Mitten's Running Mate

They read the results of the recall as a great mandate (despite Walker won by only about 160,000 votes out of 2.5 million cast despite Barrett being out spent 8-1, and losing the state senate), and so Mittens is thinking Wisconsin is a blue midwestern state he can take away from President Obama (again despite the exit polls showing Obama winning Wisconsin by 12 over Romney). So who does he select as VP? Scott Walker, the conservative hero? No, too tricky--he might (and probably will) be indicted in the next several months. So who then? Ah, how about that other Wisconsin conservative hero--Paul (the prick) Ryan? I know they are already vetting him.

I don't think a Romney/Ryan ticket would put WI in play, but it certainly would put Ryan's congressional seat in play and Dems could have a field day tying Mittens to the draconian Ryan budget.
