Mitt Romney has handed a gift to progressives by picking Paul Ryan as his running mate...
From Sam Seder
I still don't know why Sam Seder thinks Representative Paul Ryan (Republican, Wisconsin) is a gift to so-called Progressives (people in actuality are closeted Socialists who are scared to death of being outed as American Socialists) and I watched the whole damn video.

The advantage of Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan for Vice President, Representative Ryan is Chairman of the House Budget Committee and Democrats (left-wing, right, center) can say that Governor Romney is now on board with the Ryan Plan. A plan that turns Medicare into a voucher system, all the new unpaid for tax cuts for the wealthy, new spending in defense that's also not paid for, etc.
Remember, Mitt doesn't have a budget and government plan of his own. His message is essentially: "Elect me President with a Republican Congress and we'll see next year." Now Democrats can say (whether it's true or not) that the Ryan Plan, is the Romney Plan.
What would Mitt do then? He would be stuck in a catch 22, the old damned if you do, damned if you don't. If he says he's not in favor of the Ryan Plan, which is very unpopular outside of the Republican Party, that would hurt him at least with the right-wing of the Republican Party. But if he's in favor, that hurts him with everyone else in the country.
