Paul Ryan went up on the air with a $2 million ad buy in his congressional race – more than he spent

on his entire campaign in 2010.

Win or lose with Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan will still have the power and opportunity to pursue his radical agenda if he can hang on to his seat in Congress.

That’s why Wisconsin has to beat Paul Ryan twice in November. Help us shut down Paul Ryan’s dangerous agenda once and for all by chipping in $10 today.

Now that he’s been in the national spotlight, Paul Ryan is even more of a darling to the Tea Party and special interest billionaires like his friends Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers.

If Paul Ryan makes it to the White House, or even just back to Congress, they’ll surely have his attention.

We can’t give Paul Ryan another chance to reward millionaires and billionaires at the expense of seniors and working families. Chip in $10 today to help us beat Paul Ryan twice this November and shut his plans down for good.

spreading the rumor that "you can only vote for him once; either for VP or for Congress ... otherwise, if he wins both, he'll be both a member of the House and President of the Senate."

If he should win both, he would pick which position he wants to take (obviously VP) and there would be a special election to fill the vacancy in his district. Voters can vote for him in both positions if they want. As you say, let's hope he wins neither.

For the idiots who would vote for him, they hope he becomes VP, so voting for him as Rep is voting for a special election, which is not free. "Small Gubmint" right wingers voting for increased spending.
