Paul Ryan: Mittens VP Pick.
August 11, 2012 10:52 AM

Here's the brilliant 26-year old Ezra Klein with on the 42-year old Paul Ryan and what it means to this race:

8. It's not just that Romney now has to defend Ryan's budget. To some degree, that was always going to be true. What he will now have to defend is everything else Ryan has proposed. Ryan was, for instance, the key House backer of Social Security privatization. His bill, The Social Security Personal Savings Guarantee and Prosperity Act of 2005, was so aggressive that it was rejected by the Bush administration. Now it’s Romney's bill to defend. In Florida.

Read the other nine points here. Ezra is spot on.
