Romney's Vice President to be unveiled at 9 AM 8/11 in Norfolk, VA

Breaking..It appears to be Paul Ryan.

Paul Ryan hinted/confirmed by Fox News and NBC News.

I can see the VP debate now. Paul Ryan laying out the case that Obama has done nothing to help the economy and Biden agreeing time after time.

Looks like the GOP are going to ride the Tea Party Express right over the biblicals like yesterday's garbage. Guess the party elite never gave a shit about "conservative values" after all.

oops that Eric Cantor.

Joe Biden just crapped his pants.

He should. Whether you agree with him or not, Ryan is one of the few guys (like Clinton was) who can rattle off the numbers right out of his head and comes off as actually having some depth of understanding. Biden has a significant advantage as far as foreign policy discussions go. Beyond that he (and Obama for that matter) will be in trouble in any substantive discussion of the economy. Which I'd expect will be the hard focus of the Republican campaign from here on out assuming that he's the choice. The anecdotal emotional appeal-type stuff that Biden typically does will look fairly lame in comparison.

yes costs of medicare and medicaid rise due to the fact that more and more people are forced to use it because private health care basically kicks them off, or just simply people get old and start using it because they have no legacy health care plan.

From what i was listening too theres a very brief sentence where he mentions that he wants to basically privatize it... meaning dissolve medicaid and medicare as "thats the only solution" and we need to have "people" administer these programs not government (meaning give it to people who will run it for profit). If i read the news correctly this guy wants people to be paid "vouchers" sort of like social security, where you get paid a certain voucher depending on how much you paid in. That isnt health care at all.. thats a rainy day savings account.

Obama/biden arent stupid, theyll run ads all day long that say that paul ryan will get rid of medicaid and medicare completely to scare off the old voters. theyd have good reason to do so btw.

Interesting read on the history of paul ryan, interesting that a guy who loves the free market so much he hasnt really ever held a private sector job.
