“My guess is that Barack Obama has a sick feeling in his stomach today.”

If he does, it's from drinking too much champagne yesterday.

You can't overlook the wisdom of members of the Texas Republican House delegation

They get it from the water

Good grief, politico says that Ryan can still run for congress while he is on the ticket....

What happens to Paul Ryan's House seat?
By KATIE GLUECK | 8/11/12 12:15 PM EDT
For newly minted GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, Election Day will be a win-win situation.

Ryan, currently the powerful House Budget Chair, is a Wisconsin congressman currently in his seventh term and widely expected to be able to win reelection to his southeast Wisconsin seat.

That’s not a bad fall-back if he and Mitt Romney lose the presidential race. Ryan can keep his options open as a result of a Wisconsin policy that allows candidates running for office, who are also on the ticket for president or vice president, to appear on ballots twice. He is planning to run for re-election to his House seat, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

So if the White House doesn’t work out, Ryan can likely return to his influential role in Congress. And if it does, a special election will be held to fill Ryan's seat.
