He's the youngest member of Congress (D-Ohio) and he's fantastic.

This is a must see if you haven't already. And even if you have, it's still good to hear.

1. Ryan will run for higher office in 6-10 years...

He's only about 30 or 31 right now and was just elected to his second term. He's got a lock district so really all he needs is time to grow and he'll be a mover and shaker. Some of his positions (Particularly his abortion stance) will alienate him from a lot of DU.

3. That's so INTERESTING you guys say that because

I had a brief visit with my representative a week ago and I told her how impressed I was with Ryan. She agreed and said, "I told him that if he keeps his nose clean, he can run for President one day."

Wow!!

He was born in 1973!! He's so young!!
