Why Paul Ryan is good for Obama

So, let's look at why Romney's choice of running mate is good for the Obama campaign.

Ryan gives the Democrats some  real red meat to chew on. No more of this attach on Romney's taxes, now he has made a stand, now there is something that we can call him on.  Before his VP pick supporters of Obama had to go into strange and , frankly, useless territory. They had to do that because Romney had made no attempt at taking a stand on any of the issues. He talked a good game about the economy, but has never come out with a plan for what, specifically, he would do. So now all of that super pac money, as well as new money that will be raised as a result of this particular VP pick, will go into ads that bring up real issues of substance.
Ryan is great for exciting conservatives, but he is just as good at exciting liberals who do not want to see the poor and middle class thrown away for the sake of the rich.

This choice of VP should help Obama with fundraising, as well as help him cement his agenda.
