I got out of bed to post this one. You guys owe me one. Via L.A. Times email alert:

Mitt Romney has selected U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate, according to unnamed sources cited by NBC News, CNN and the Associated Press.

Ryan, 42, authored a controversial budget plan that would curb spending on popular programs such as Medicare. Ryan’s selection would portend a fierce debate in the campaign’s final phase over the size and role of government.

For the latest information go to www.latimes.com.

That’s right, folks. The Kill Medicare guy is Willard Romney’s guy. Good luck with that.

    This is good news…for the Obama campaign.  Usually, VPs are chosen to balance the ticket, like Pres. Obama choosing VP Biden because of Biden’s foreign policy experience.  What does Ryan bring to the Romney ticket?  This really isn’t a great choice for Romney.

    So much for the “balanced-ticket” theory; Miscreant SOB + Miscreant SOB = Too many miscreant SOBs…
