If Paul Ryan Gets into the Race, Ron Paul Could Get The Most Delegates
With Ryan in the race, he and Romney would split the establishment vote, and Perry and Bachmann split the fundie vote. That opens up the field to Ron Paul whose constituency would never support any of the other candidates.

And without super delegates, Ron Paul, conceivably, could enter the Republican convention in Tampa with the most delegates. Now, whether he gets the nomination, that's a completely different story. The Republican establishment, the fundies, and the Ron Paul voters would have open war fare in the summer heat and humdity of Tampa, FL.

2. Ryan??? I don't think Romney or any of the other candidates
need to worry about Ryan. He will poll in Huntsman territory.

7. Ryan Will Have The Backing of the Establishment
In particular, Karl Rove's folks.

3. Ryan will want residuals from the news companies he allows to video him
He's already figured out how to make his constituents pay to meet with him back in his district.

4. I think the strategy is this. Ryan gets in to take out Romney
Perry was supposed to be the great savior of the GOP. Not working out. Ryan is plan B

5. It wouldn't matter. Jon Stewart nails it here:

On edit: Note the blunt truths about Iraq and war propaganda, and the reaction of the (voting) audience. Where the HELL is our Democratic anti-war candidate?
