Ryan is all over the news, lauded by conservative channels for his ideas for a national budget and bashed by liberals for the same reason.
According to a story running on jsonline.com, Senators Marco Rubio of Florida and Rob Portman of Ohio and Governors Chris Christie from New Jersey, Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Bob McDonnell of Virginia are all ahead of Ryan on the list of potential VP picks.
