A side effect of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan’s Vice Presidential candidacy if he and Mitt Romney lose the election to Barack Obama, but the Republican Party keeps control of the House of Representatives, is a challenge to the House leadership as it now stands!
That would likely lead to a move by Ryan, who can run for his Congressional seat while on the ballot for Vice President, to wish to be Speaker of the House, second in line to be President, and to challenge Barack Obama on his agenda much more than Speaker John Boehner!
It would also be a challenge to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who very much wishes to be Speaker, and would try to stop Ryan from reaching that office, but having run for Vice President and become a national figure as a result, Ryan would have the edge to overcome both Boehner and Cantor!
So the future of House leadership, if the GOP keeps control, will be very fascinating to watch!
Hello Professor,
I am thinking the Republican Leadership is thinking, “As extreme to the right as Sarah Palin but just not as STUPID.†This is what they are pinning their hopes on for this election.
I am hoping that the last segment of undecided Working Middle Class will be as dissatisfied with this choice as those of us who have a clearer thinking mindset.
I would say that if they do not realize what is going on and vote for Romney and Ryan, they will get what they deserve!
