Thoughts on the Ryan Pick

• Paul Ryan is, in my opinion, the best person in America to present fiscal concerns and solutions to the American people.  He is brilliant.
• Having said that, one of my concerns is that he would no longer be on the Budget Committee in the House.  I would hope the GOP can find an adequate replacement.
• From a Tea Party perspective, Ryan is the better part of the team running for the GOP.
• The Democrats will ramp up their attacks, saying that Ryan is a dangerous choice for seniors, ignoring the fact that the Ryan budget does not affect those who are already on Medicare and on Social Security.
• My hope is that younger Americans will buy into Ryan's message and NOT want to be part of an entitlement nation.
• Ryan has a beautiful family.  Start praying for them.  Even if they do not get attacked, they are going to have to watch their loved one get viciously attacked by Chicago-style politics.
• The Ryan pick ought to turn the conversation back to the important issues of improving our economy, reducing our debt, and tightening our belts.  But will it?
• I am guessing that very few Americans really know who Paul Ryan is.  I am going to enjoy watching him impress them with his ideas.
• I am really looking forward to the VP debate.  The big question in my mind, though, is whether the folks asking the questions will even approach asking about money issues.  I am betting they will try to focus on foreign affairs.
• As a values voter myself, Ryan is now the best of the four people running with regards to social issues.
• I have already seen a comment online about this ticket as being the best ticket of all time when it comes to hair. Makes me giggle.
• Ryan should get the "Packers" vote, but will probably lose the "Vikings" vote.
• All in all, I think it is a good choice.
