If you need to know how desperate Republicans are for a "product," this is all you need to know. They would hitch their wagon to the guy whose budget plan was so toxic, he basically wasn't allowed to talk about it on the campaign. He's also the guy who lost.

Oh, and if you need more information to determine that House Speaker John Boehner's position on "increased revenue" is pretty much bullshit, Ryan is supporting it, with a hyper-partisan, "no-way-in-hell-will-I-compromise" twist, with this statement from his spokesperson:

“Speaker Boehner has outlined a bipartisan way forward to avoid the ‘fiscal cliff’ and get our economy growing with common-sense entitlement reform coupled with pro-growth tax reform. We can find common ground on responsible spending restraint and greater revenue through economic growth, but we have yet to see either a serious plan or leadership from President Obama.”

Ah, leadership, Republican-style. Of course, Ryan is what classifies as a brainiac for Republicans, so he might as well be their new leader.
