|[[Paul Ryan]]

|[[Paul Ryan]]

|Known widely, has a strong command of economic issues, is young and energetic, is likely to defeat his opponent [[Joe Biden]] in any debates, and has been tested by the media more so than other candidates. Ryan is likely to attract a substantial bloc of Irish voters to the ticket.  Ryan has a [[pro-life]] voting record.  Makes [[Wisconsin]] -- a key [[swing state]] -- winnable for Romney.

|Ryan's [[Medicare]] proposals attract criticism and could become fodder for negative ads by the [[Dems]] - but that may help Romney by reminding voters of the economic issues.  Also, Ryan himself is not that popular with voters and chose not to win a [[U.S. Senate]] seat in Wisconsin, but perhaps that does not matter in a V.P. (as the unpopular [[Dick Cheney]] demonstrated).
