Ryan would have the same effect of Palin, in electrifying and uniting hte conservative movement, though on econ, not culture war.

A Ryan pick would underline what already is shaping up as the starkest and most interesting choice on domestic policy in many years.

If Ryan, Republicans have converted what ought to be an easy win for the out party into the biggest gamble since 1964.

Ryan would be the first real surprise move in Romney’s political career, at least as long as I’ve paid attention.

I think Ryan pick (if rumors true) indicates bearish view from Romney campaign. Not a pick you make if you think you’re ahead.

Ryan balance sheet. Minuses: Hello Obama Mediscare, hello entitlements debate. Happy base doesn’t grow vote. Will indus love him in Oct?

Paul Ryan is a star. I hope one day I will get to vote for him for President. But right now, in this election, he’s the wrong choice for VP.

Notable that MSNBC is getting every single scoop tonight, and Fox News has nothing.

If it’s Ryan it’ll be the 2nd consecutive veep pick lobbied for, successfully, by Bill Kristol.
— daveweigel (@daveweigel) August 11, 2012
On the bright side, Ryan would be a much better choice than Sarah Palin!
