Weekly Standard says it's Paul Ryan

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/romney-prepares-pick-ryan_649722.html

Oh boy. Bill Kristol's rag isn't exactly the most reputable source, but they make a convincing case, and I've been leaning towards Ryan since hearing that he took Jindal's spot on the extra-short list (showing upwards momentum) and especially since Romney said he wanted a VP with a "vision for the country's future" which screamed Ryan. (After all, who cares what the VP's vision of the future is? That's not something usually looked for.)

Is Romney really bad enough of a politician to pick Ryan? And can that question be any more rhetorical?
