Who doesn’t love pointless VP speculation?

From PPP:

Barack Obama’s considerably weaker in Wisconsin than he was in 2008, but he still looks like the clear favorite to win the state again. We find him with 50% to 44% for Mitt Romney.

…

One thing that could make the state look like much more of a toss up is if Romney chooses Paul Ryan as his running mate. Ryan has a pretty solid 44/39 favorability rating and if he was on the ticket Obama’s lead would decline all the way to 47/46. Ryan’s presence has the effect of further unifying the GOP base around Romney and also helping to bring some more independent voters into the fold.

Interesting stuff.  I’ve been saying or quite sometime that Paul Ryan is probably the smartest choice for Romney.

And deep down, I do have some begrudging admiration for Paul Ryan.  I just love a wonk, even if he is a dishonest, Ayn Rand-worshiping liar.
