re: #137 BryanS

Those states aren’t competitive for Dems. But in a state like Wisconsin, the GOP has managed to do reasonably well making fiscal issues the front and center of their campaign and policies. I’m just saying, don’t underestimate this political point of view (economic conservative, moderate on social issues), especially in the midwest. The GOP will keep the social cons no matter what , but they can pick up more of the middle if social issues are in the back of the list of campaign priorities.

So Ryan is merely a figurehead then? Romney says his ideas are not who’s being run with, Ryan is. So if Ryan’s ideas are off the table, how does he help make fiscal issues front and center?
