Flash Poll: Georgia Democrats say Paul Ryan Pick for VP can help Obama Win

A Patch panel of Democratic elected officials and activists say the Ryan pick draws a stronger contrast between presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama.

A Patch poll of Georgia Democrats found that most respondents feel that Mitt Romney’s decision to tap Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate could make it easier for Democrats to paint the GOP ticket as out of touch with the middle class. “Romney is now absolutely married to the tax breaks for the rich, tax increases for the middle class, gut the programs for everybody but the 1%,” one respondent said. Most of those who took part in the nonscientific flash poll agreed that Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, will ‘galvanize’ Democrats in the Peach State. Twenty Democratic elected officials, candidates and activists completed the nonscientific survey over the weekend. Several respondents said they didn’t think the Ryan selection would make a big …

Why is it that if one disagrees with someones opinion of a particular candidate, the name calling, over talking the facts and omitting the truth becomes the only way some feel that they need to get their point across? The hard truth is that Mitt is not for the people of this country only a very small %. He just wants to be President. He has a campaign staff who take pride in lying, rudeness and …   more ›
