Ryan could put Romney in the White House
Hold your breath, America. Mitt Romney has picked a running mate who could make him president.
Congressman Paul Ryan complements Romney's private-sector expertise wonderfully. He has a clear and concise plan to fix the federal budget, and as I count electoral votes, he could put Romney over the top in what will ultimately be a tight contest.
The U.S. economy isn't growing and creating jobs, because the private sector is despondent -- demand is weak and President Barack Obama won't let America play to its strengths and compete globally, the public sector is bloated and Washington has runaway deficits exceeding $1 trillion annually.
Romney promises to open development of U.S. energy resources and level the playing field on trade with mercantilists like China. Slashing oil imports and boosting U.S. exports in Asia would increase GDP by $500 billion, create five million jobs and get the economy growing at a four to five per cent annual pace.
Ryan is the principal architect of GOP proposals to fix federal finances and restore some sanity to state budgets by harnessing runaway health-care costs.
By offering retiring Americans a choice between traditional Medicare and a subsidy to purchase private insurance, he would put Health and Human Services on the dime to cut costs without reducing benefits, and get U.S. health-care performance more in line with competitors like Germany.
Governors are crying for more control on how they spend Medicaid dollars, because federal mandates are stretching state budgets to the breaking point. Ryan would send the states block grants and discretion to shape more effective programs. That would eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy in Washington, improve services to the poor and unshackle America's governors, who are a heck of a lot more creative than the bureaucrats at HHS.
Romney's choice is remindful of another bold move -- John Kennedy's selection of Lyndon Johnson. Then-senator Johnson was majority leader in the Senate and added substance to Kennedy's campaign. More importantly, just as Johnson delivered Texas, picking Ryan puts Wisconsin in play, and that could make all the difference.

It may be premature to compare Romney's "bold stroke" to that of Kennedy picking Johnson, but it is hard to argue this guy's logic. And coming from an independent source has gravity.

What is interesting is that a search for this turns up in a Canadian newspaper today. Could the US mainstream media be ignoring stuff that is favorable to the Romney campaign?

If Gov. Romney goes to the White House it will be due solely to President Obama. President Obama will be able to stand in front of the White House and say, "He didn't get there on his own."
