The Paul Ryan effect

Conservatives and Republicans hopeful that the selection of Paul Ryan will help the prospects of Mitt Romney in defeating President Barack Obama this fall were heartened by polling results showing positive momentum arising from the choide:

• The Purple Insights Poll shows Romney posted gains in 12 swing states following the Ryan selection.
• A Zogby International poll shows Romney cutting into the percentage of young voters supporting President Obama.

So, ladies and gentlemen, there is hope, to wrest control of this great nation from the grasp of a committed socialist who would destroy the foundations that made us great.  A hope.
