U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, who two weeks ago ruled out running for president in 2012, says he would consider running for vice president if asked, according to a Milwaukee TV news report that aired Sunday.

WITI-TV (Channel 6) reported that Ryan said he would consider running as the vice presidential candidate if asked by the Republican presidential nominee.

"I'm not going to focus on that only because it's someone else's decision, so what's the point of answering that question?" the Janesville Republican said. "I'm focused on doing my job right and that's so far away and it's out of my control, so I just don't spend my time worrying about it. I spend my time worrying about my job, which is balancing the budget, getting this debt under control and creating the conditions that will get jobs created in this country."

1. I'll bet he is.

Waiting for Eric Cantor to raise his hand next.

2. He should be spending his time "worrying about his job" because

after all those years as a Rep. he hasn't done squat.

3. Well, the repubs had Darth Cheney.

Next Eddie Ryan Munster.

4. Second place - Ryan is admitting he is a loser

Ryan wants to be in the mix with the players, but knows he is just a partisan hack that can't make it in the big leagues.

What an idiot.

What a moron.

8. Ryan who?

9. I was wondering how he was polling in his home district...

His Medicare-Coupon plan must not be playing too well down in Janesville. I can't imagine the swarmy little sycophant even considering giving up his seat, much less even risking it to campaign as a VP candidate. Rob Zerban, the Democratic challenger, might be able to knock him off his high chair.
