A snap Red Keystone survey of GOP activists in Pennsylvania by Patch shows strong support for U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s
Ryan as vice presidential nominee will help galvanize Republican voters in the Keystone State, according to more than two-thirds of respondents.
More than half also say Ryan will help the GOP ticket win undecided voters.
Respondents aren’t concerned that Democrats can win by running against Ryan's existing budget plans and particularly his proposal for Medicare.
Several respondents noted that Ryan will help the GOP win young voters. But one Republican commented, “I don't believe that a VP pick ultimately changes elections. Perhaps the last time it did was in 1960.”
Here are other comments on Ryan from Pennsylvania Republicans who replied to an automated survey sent by Patch:
- He is a man with a substantive fiscal plan, the best hope for a truly honest discussion of our fiscal problems. Unlike almost all other politicians, he calls a spade a spade.
- His 14 years in Congress gives insight, strength and balance to Romney's experience as a governor.
- It takes the focus of the race to the economy, which will help Romney.
- It sends a clear message that a President Romney will be serious about tackling the deficit.
- This may galvanize the ‘Audit the Fed’ crowd, but unless they come forward with real fiscal arguments that reasonable voters can accept and convince people the deficit must be solved, they will not be able to get much traction in Pennsylvania.
- Rep. Ryan brings a clear vision to a campaign that, so far, had been severely lacking in detail.
- Returns discussion to fiscal policy, not tax returns.
- He is a fiscal conservative. He has the fullest understanding of any possible candidate of the breadth and scope of the fiscal disaster and the resulting crash in our economy and the crushing of our individual liberty and freedom.
Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local political activists, party leaders and elected officials in Pennsylvania.
All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to questions Saturday about U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan.
Patch will be conducting Red Keystone and Blue Keystone surveys throughout 2012 in hopes of determining the true sentiment of conservatives and liberals on the ground in Pennsylvania.
If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in occasional surveys that last just a few minutes, please email Cindi.Lash@patch.com or Timothy.McAteer@patch.com

As for Seal Team Six saying Obama didn't kill OBL. Well, obviously. Only one person executed bin Laden. But the SEAL operators also refused to acknowledge to Obama (or anyone else) which one of them pulled the trigger (twice). That's because they consider it a team effort. Just like I consider it an incredible accomplishment by our intelligence agencies, administration and military. All had to work in unison to bring that mass murderer to justice.
Mike understand what your saying and maybe sometime after the election you can watch the video, it has a lot of enlightening things in there.

Lie #14: If the healthcare bill is so good then why does Congress exempt themselves from the bill? TRUTH: As Think Progress explains, the House bill "does not specifically exempt federal employees — who receive coverage through the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program — from enrolling in the new public plan. Rather, the legislation treats the American government — the largest employer in the country — like any other large employer: it can enroll its employees in the Exchange (where they can choose a public health insurance option) after a period of 2 years." http://ourfuture.org/healthcare/healthreformfactcheck#lie14
Also, if this Obamacare is so "great" why doesn't our dear President and member of The House and Senate have the same coverage?? ...>>>> BC: Lie #14: If the healthcare bill is so good then why does Congress exempt themselves from the bill?
