Well, it seems every conservative with a platform from which to opine wants Mitt Romney to select Paul Ryan as his running mate. The question is: what does Mitt want? The Journal makes a compelling case here. I've been putting it this way for months, in a line borrowed from the movie "Quiz Show:" having the presidential election be about Ryan's ideas without Ryan is like doing "Hamlet" without "Hamlet."

And while any of the potential Veeps would make Joe Biden's head spin, the thought of Ryan dissecting him in a debate is particularly entertaining.
