Ha! Ha! Paul Ryan--Great now we have a good shot at winning his district

and Medicare and Social Security are front and center in the presidential debate.

On edit: Oh darn, I just heard that WI law allows him to run for congress and VP. Oh well, he'll be stumping all around the country and ignoring his district, so maybe his opponent will still be able to capitalize.

For the longest time I was thinking the man is such an amorphous blob that I have no idea where he stands. Now I can clearly see where he is going. Funny. I didn't catch that in my first moments of hilarity thinking about now Ryan was supposed to energize people.

If it even leans Republican, plan to work your butt off.

The odds are, his association with Romney, whom I'll point out isn't that disliked in Wisconsin, will not negate the extra money he's about to see funneled into his campaign.

If you want it, you'll have to still work hard to get it. Maybe even harder.
