I was pleasantly surprised to find out this morning that
Romney has chosen Paul Ryan to be his running mate. I did not expect Ryan
because I expected a safer pick. For
Ryan is the premier man associated with entitlement reform. Democrats demagogue against just about
any entitlement reform every election.
It has long been one of their chief weapons. Romney just gave them a juicy target and that willingly I’m
sure.
Grandmas, you better hide . . . now. Democrat ad men are already looking for
grannies to push off cliffs in Mediscare ads.
I am gratified that Romney is serious enough about
entitlement reform and willing enough to take heat for that to pick the point
man for reform as his Veep.
I consider it a smart pick as well. The Obama campaign is based on
deception and lies, big lies. Ryan
has the temperament, smarts, and communication skills to take those lies apart. It is not for nothing that he is known
as a policy wonk. He is great in
dealing with facts in a clear, even tempered, and convincing way. The Romney campaign needs that.
Also, some polls indicate that, while other potential Veep
picks would not help much in delivering their states, Ryan will help in Wisconsin.
This is a smart, serious, and, yes, courageous pick.

the pick was formally announced, the mediscaring began.
