Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will arrive in Tampa, Florida, for the Republican nominating convention with Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his choice for Vice President.
I am delighted. Paul Ryan is a serious choice with considerable expertise on our government's finances and debt. This choice will boost Candidate Romney's conservative credentials, please the TEA party base and, most important, will focus the discussion of campaign issues on the national debt. Not only has Mr Obama increased the debt by five trillion dollars without much to show for it, he does not have an answer or a policy to deal with the debt emergency. Under his policies, the American debt has been downgraded by financial analysts for the first time in history. The man with a plan for the recovery of the US economy and the real world solutions for the debt crisis is Congresssman Paul Ryan.
Not only will Paul Ryan enhance the Romney campaign, but his choice sets the stage for a true operating partnership between the incoming President and his Vice President.
More information to come. The official declaration by Mitt Romney is expected shortly after 9am this morning.
And by the way - more information in my earlier Active Rain article on Paul Ryan - from June of 2008 ! <link>
When I say I am a Paul Ryan supporter - I am a Paul Ryan supporter.
