Washington Post - 08/08/2012
Paul Ryan who jumped into the political landscape by introducing his controversial "Ryan Budget" is going on a weeklong Colorado vacation at the height of speculation over who Romney will select for his Vice Presidential running mate. While Ryan has been on the short list for some time many are now questioning whether selecting Ryan would be harmful to securing the older American vote, since the Ryan Budget will overhaul Medicare a program. Americans 60 years and older are usually a good bets for the GOP, but putting Ryan in the second spot could jepardize these easy votes.The second largest concern over Ryan includes his time in Congress, many feel that Ryan is too much of a political insider and this could also be harmful to the Romney campaign.
