We may never know if Ryan was his first choice. But I think for really attacking Obama on spending and economics/fiscal that Ryan was the perfect choice. And I always thought WI could be on the table after looking at the recall and Ryan's popularity there, but of course at the time FL was more critical and very much in doubt. I think it was fair, initially, to think that Ryan could have hurt him in FL.
