Breaking News: Mitt Romney Taps Paul Ryan

Mitt Romney has spoken.  He has made his first important decision he can make before he becomes President of the United States of America.  His decision is Representative Paul Ryan.

This was truly one of Mr. Romney’s most important decisions he would make during the campaign.  Most importantly, Mr. Romney needed to choose someone he believed could step in as President if something were to happen to Romney.

However, probably even more important was whether Mr. Romney would choose someone that could convince Conservatives that they could trust Governor Mitt Romney as their nominee to defeat President Barack Obama.  Mr. Romney also needed to pick someone that would complement Mr. Romney’s strengths and not necessarily steal the spotlight from the candidate himself.

Choosing Paul Ryan

The Establishment calls Paul Ryan a policy wonk and too wonkish.  The Tea Party likes him because Paul Ryan is bold and seeks real solutions to America’s real problems.

Mr. Ryan is an excellent choice for Vice President.  He is a capable, articulate, and a great communicator.  Mr. Romney needs to let Mr. Ryan be Paul Ryan.  He needs to not try to micromanage Mr. Ryan the way the McCain Campaign tried to do with Governor Sarah Palin.

This choice helps Mr. Romney solidify his commitment to restoring America’s economy and creating real jobs.  It also is a choice that could convince Conservatives that Mr. Romney is committed to their Conservative budgetary and fiscal solutions.

Endorsing Paul Ryan for Vice President

When Herman Cain announced that he was running for President, I was so excited because I thought, “Finally, we have a leader that can restore America!”  I was fully committed to helping Herman Cain defeat Barack Obama.

Newt Gingrich was the best Conservative choice after Herman Cain was forced out of the race.  I believed Mr. Gingrich was the next best choice because he had the ideas and he had the leadership that led a revolution that began to restore America back in the 1990’s.

Let me be honest.  I didn’t know whether I could support Mitt Romney no matter what because he seemed like an Obama-lite.  Mr. Romney’s plans seemed to show that he had no conviction and was more committed to practical, timid policies.

However, this choice of Representative Paul Ryan has, at the very least, convinced me that just maybe Mitt Romney really does want to find real solutions to America’s real problems.  That is why today I am announcing my endorsement of Paul Ryan for Vice President to defeat Barack Obama.  I will be casting my vote for Paul Ryan for Vice President, even if that means voting for Mitt Romney for President.
