romney buy into all of the pieces of the ryan budget in that he is going to be the question as we move into the fall and the race to define that is what s going to be so important. look, paul ryan is extremely good at articulating his message and his vision and he does it in a way that s not threatening to a lot of people. the problem is, medicare, the budget, those are very knew wants, very difficult, very complex issues. can he do that in a short sound bite to get people on his side? that remains to be seen. but that s going to be the race moving forward. can ryan effectively come out, articulate that vision, be strong, push and attack the president? it makes romney a better candidate right now but romney is going to have to offer more specifics so he doesn t have to answer for ryan specifics. so joy-ann, romney is in your state of florida right now. paul ryan will be there next week. miami herald headline, ryan
district. he basically hasn t gone against anybody in his 14 years in the congress, anybody that mounted any kind of a charge whatever. he s been in one in the safest districts. this guy is one of the biggest idealogs that they could put on. any reservation as to whether there s going to be a problem of mitt romney at the convention, you know what he s going to be? tim paul ryan is going to be the enforcer for the conservatives. he is on that ticket to reinforce everything that the conservatives want. his age is perfect. this is going to cast him on the national scene for the next 25 years and this is exactly what they want. this isn t a fly by night politician. that is what makes this i d logically this election so important for the democrats. it s a big jolt with him being added to the ticket. congratulations to you. thank you. you can watch the ed show
we re stretching our muscles after the olympics. take a look at this new ad that the obama camp put out in florida today ahead of the romney visit there. medicare is a bomb for senior citizens who without that would choose between food and going to a doctor. those kind of cuts are going to be incredibly painful to the working class person and because we re going to be the one wopayg for it. romney s strong demographics is seniors, iowa, pennsylvania, and florida. can mitt romney and paul ryan assure florida seniors that he won t change medicare as we know it? absolutely. here are the facts. one on the politic and one on the substance. substance, first. medicare goes bankrupt in 2024. that s a fact. it s out by the strtrustees. this president will let it go
bankrupt. his budget doesn t do anything to address it. second, when he crafted obama care, he took it out of the medicare fund and into the obama plan to fund that. the only one who has cut medicare by $700 billion is the vice president. the only one to save it is the president. i think we re going to do very well on this, both substantively and politically. on the political front, when you look at 2010, both during that general election and then in the subsequent special election, our candidates that went out there and who made an articulate case as to what our plan was to ensure that it has preserved and protected for seniors to come beyond 2024 were widely protected. people in this country understand that we have problems and they want politicians to go out there and put real solutions in place, which is exactly what mitt romney and paul ryan will do. sean, ryan is know well in the media not just across the country just yet.
