…Paul Ryan! Earlier this week, Mitt Romney announced that he had chosen tea party darling Paul Ryan to be his running mate in the upcoming presidential election. Romney's announcement was a rather safe choice, he didn't bring in a "maverick" like Sarah Palin, and Paul Ryan is a semi-popular senator in a key swing state: Wisconsin. While Paul Ryan is no Sarah Palin, as of yet, he has already drawn criticism for his stance on medicare, with many worried he will replace medicare with a voucher program. Ryan, a Tea Party darling, is perhaps most famous for writing much of the 2012 and 2013 Republican budget proposals. A new Washington Post/ABC Poll shows that only 38% of people surveyed viewed Ryan favorably, while this is a fifteen percent jump from before Gov. Romney's announcement, it still remains well below the 50% mark.
