Romney-Ryan: running mate preview?
(CNN) – Whether or not the two become running mates, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have something of a "bromance" going.
Romney has hardly been seen in public since Friday - when the Republican congressman from Wisconsin announced his endorsement - without Ryan.

They've done brunch (in Milwaukee), lunch (in Waukesha) and dinner (in Pewaukee) together. Ryan even suggested stopping for butter burgers and malts at a Wisconsin restaurant.
They appeared in tandem at a phone bank, and have shared the stage at no less than three town hall meetings.
When Romney's campaign staff pulled an April Fools' Day prank on the candidate, Ryan was in on it.
They even sat side-by-side for a television interview wearing nearly identical shirts.
It's not unusual for Romney to campaign with a prominent endorser in their state. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley introduced Romney at events in her state, and in New Hampshire, former Gov. John Sununu toured Romney around the Granite State.
Ryan, a tea party favorite whose national profile has been bolstered as chair of the House Budget Committee, is seen as a possible vice presidential nominee.

Romney/Ryan 2012, sounds like just what this country needs. REAL solutions and COMPETENCE.
Obam/Biden, four years of FAILURE, asking for more Hope & Change time. But the country can't afford four more yeras of failure and lost time. Putting Obama/Biden back in the Whitehouse will have given this nearly a LOST DECADE. Socialism is a FAILURE let alone socialism implemented by an inexperienced community organizer and a crazy old coot.
So Ryan got himself some "mom" jeans too. How cute.
Guess this puts Trump somewhere at the bottom of the list of important "endorsers".
A photo opp for two. One is a loser,the other the wanna-be. I hope when the elections are over, the defeat is so monumental that we never have to see, or hear from the likes of these two ever again. What a blessing that would be.
Reagan, Bush and Bush 2, represent 20 years of republican failure that culminated in a near depression, 2 unfunded wars, unfunded tax cuts for the wealthiest, and an unbelievable safety net for big oil, wall street, and big insurance. America can not afford to have any republican leadership.
Yo Mitt , I gotta tell ya, 99% of Americans cant relate to Car elevators for 1 of their 10 houses & hidin a hundred mill all up in that overseas account. Nov- Eldery D, Minorities D, Woman D, workin men & woman- D, UNIONS & my man Daley- D, Poor- D, Small Business- D College Vote- Definitly -D , Hispanick, are you kiddin me, after that dumb remark on Sotomoyer, – D, Rich, Richer, & Richest- R Mr Personality, how you like your chances all up in this CRITICAL election? GO Prez Obama 12!
Democrats can only dream that Romney will choose Ryan as his VP. There is a reason why Ryan did not run for president himself. (Hint: it is Ryan's budget plan, which converts Medicare to a voucher plan.) He would be lucky to hang on to his congressional seat in November, and the fact that Romney trails Obama by 17 points in Wisconsin in the NBC News/Marist poll does not help.

What do you call the previous decade of Bush/Cheney? It ended with the Great Recession. The Romney/Ryan plan is more of the same economic policies and fear mongering. Start wars and cut taxes. What is their plan for health care for those who are not covered? "There is 'free' health care out there." The same 'free' stuff they plan to cut, though.
Republican and competence should never be used in the same sentence. However, you can use the word 'republican' with any of the following: tax cuts for the wealthy, tax breaks for big oil, bail outs for Wall Street, bailing out big banks, money laundering, corporate raiding, out sourcing jobs, economic destruction, chicken hawk, hatred, bigotry, & divisiveness.
It is hilarious how many people still have no idea what socialism is
Word Wire! Daddy Rich Mormon, can you send me to France. Please, Please daddy rich mormon can I be all up in that draft dodgin thing? Gee, thanks daddy rich mormon.

Gees, Ryan tells Generals at the Pentagon that they are liars. Robmey doesn't even like Gays, immigrants, Women, The poor, poorer and poorest, wants to do away with all of Planned Parenthood, has no relation to the 99%.

@Wire Palladin, S.F. – May I use "Republican" with voter fraud, illegal campaign contributions, anti-abortion, anti-women, anti-gay, anti-union, and anti-commonDsense? My bad, fingers got tired.
I am sorry for lack of better words, but you Obama supporters are just plain pathetic – there are no better words to describe you.

i would think Ryan would be smart enough not to attach himself to a losing ticket? but i guess he may as well seize the spotlight when it's offered. OBAMA 2012!
