This via Robert Costa at The Corner:

I’m reliably informed that Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Budget Committee chairman, has submitted paperwork to the Romney campaign. Sources confirm that he is being vetted for the vice-presidential nomination.

Scott Reusser: (L)ike it or not, Romney is now married to the Ryan budget (personally, I like it).

.....  The mushy middle, by definition, isn’t sure what to think.  But they aren’t hanging their vote on whoever comes up withthekiller Ryan Budget argument! 

True, they'll never grasp, say, the concept of defined-benefits vs defined-contribution Medicare. Agreed. But getting the manifestly unscary, smart, kind, handsome, blue-eyed Ryan front and center might make the Ryan's-throwing-granny-off-the-cliff routine a little less plausible (whereas the Romney's-throwing-granny-off-the-cliff routine will always be plausible, I'm afraid). 

Still, Jindal's my #1.
