UPDATE:Obama in 6 Point Gallup Drop [Obama Down To 45.5% Apro In Gallup/Ras Polling Even After Media Lickspittle SOTU/Giffords/Tax Cut Orgasm]
Congressman Paul Ryan Didn't Deny Palin Is The Nominee & He'd Take The VP Spot With Her
"The Hill" has parts of an interview up with Congressman Paul Ryan. They asked him if he'd take the second spot as VP to which he replies "who knows, that is such a hypothetical question." In other words he did not rule it out-although he did rule out, yet again, running for president.
In a review of his statement in The New York Times a year ago-Feb. 2010 Ryan is quoted;
NYT: Sarah Palin lauded you as “sharp” and practically endorsed you on “Fox News Sunday” when the subject of the 2012 election came up. Is that a possibility?
RYAN: There’s no way I am running for president in 2012. My head is not that big, and my kids are too small.
NYT: Do you know her?
RYAN: I briefly met her during the McCain campaign. We talked about hunting for the most part. Bow hunting is my passion.
NYT: What if she asks you to be her running mate?
RYAN: I’d cross that bridge if we ever come to it.
The first thing to note from that is an implied acceptance that Palin, at least could be the nominee. Certainly he didn't deny that, nor, as so many have done, weasal word equivocate by saying e.g. "There are many ,good, possible nominees including Palin and etc etc".
Rather, he moved straight on from the implied fact of her getting the nomination to the consideration of his own position as her Vice-Presidential running mate. Again, he did not deny possibility, which he did in respect of his have a presidential run himself.
As "the Hill" pointed out, Palin has been highly complimentary to Ryan regarding his economic "Roadmap,” which she sees as a good fit with her philosophy.
There is no doubt that Ryan is highly respected as a thinker, especially in the field of finance and the Democrats appear wary of his capabilities. When attacking him is notable that they tend to leave off the ad hominems and attack his policies but with respect for his intellectual capability.
If Ryan is on Palin's radar as a running mate there is no doubt it would be an attractive pairing on many levels. Ryan, as with Palin, exudes a youthful energy, which would contrast strongly with Joe Biden and he impresses as a person with a keen intellect and being a deep thinker.
I have previously suggested Condoleezza Rice and latterly Rudy Giuliani as possible VP pairings for Palin. Certainly each would bring many strengths but also, most certainly, Ryan has many qualities which would work towards a powerful, attractive electoral pairing with Sarah Palin in 2012.

Palin Is Reagan's Heir & Gains Covering Of His Mantle Of Greatness With Soaring Speech At Reagan 100 Event
Today Sarah Palin, in an eagerly awaited speech at the "Reagan100" celebratory dinner put on by the Young America's Foundation at the Reagan Ranch made the speech of a lifetime which equalled, if not surpassed her Vice President acceptance speech at the 2008 convention.
The 2008 speech introduced the phenomenon that is Sarah Palin to America and nothing has been the same since. Her speech tonight is an introduction to America of the thinking and vision of Palin in the Reagan tradition.
It comes at a time when, like as Reagan had to address in the Carter years, America, under Obama, is suffering the same symptoms of malaise. High unemployment, incipient inflation, Israel in a parlous situation, Iran an even bigger danger because of their unstopped nuclear program, the Middle east in turmoil after a liberal president "reached out" to an unwelcoming Muslim world with the end result apparent American weakness and Islamic volatility.
It is becoming very clear that the next election will be fought on more than the traditional party differences. What is at stake going forward is the very core of what America is or could be. American exceptionalism, America as a storehouse of moral imperatives, America as an economic powerhouse with low taxation, small government, low debt, high growth, a strong dollar a strong armed forces as a deterrent to aggression and a foreign policy which supports friends and makes foes fear.
None of the above issues bring to mind the Obama administration as the best equipped to ensure they all come to maximum fruition. All these issues were attended to with success by the Reagan administration.
What Palin has done tonight with her inspirational speech, and what the resulting political apotheosis has shown is that she is the best choice for the Republican nomination (as polls have confirmed) and that she is the clear political heir of Ronald Reagan. It has also made clear that her entire career path, and life choices, have equipped her for this great task.
N.Y. Times Adds Three More To GOP Candidates List-Now 22!
