Serving in Congress since 1999, Ryan is an ideologically-driven Republican whose world view was shaped early on by thinkers, politicians and economists who extolled markets, celebrated the economic empowerment of individuals, feared an overweening state, and advocated a "pro-growth" or "supply side" agenda of lower taxes on business, investment and income.The very best thing about Paul Ryan's selection is that the mass media and the American public will be introduced to the wisdom and knowledge of the great, Austrian economist.
His intellectual heroes include the economists Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and Friedrich Hayek; the writer Ayn Rand, and former New York congressman Jack Kemp, for whom he once worked.
And a large dose of Mises is exactly the tonic that this country needs!

I think Paul Ryan is a good choice for Mitt Romney. Not only can he help defeat Obama, he can also help Romney tremendously after they win. He will be a great asset and an even greater Vice-President.
The only downside is that he'll be missed in the house. I felt he might have had a shot at unseating Boehner as leader.
