Subscribe to RSSRENO, Nev. – Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan kicked off what he called a "barnburner" of a final day on the campaign trail, courting voters out west in Nevada.
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan stopped by a campaign event in Reno, Nev., to rally supporters behind Governor Mitt Romney, saying "What we have is a leader ... a man of achievement, a man of faith, a man of accomplishment."
“Are you gonna help us win this thing Nevada? We're doing a barnburner today. We are crisscrossing the country Mitt and I are because we are asking you to work with us, to stand with us to get our country back on the right track,” Ryan told the crowd inside a hangar at the Reno Tahoe International Airport.
Ryan is holding five campaign rallies in four time zones Monday while Romney is holding five events along the East Coast.
Monday’s stop in Reno marks the GOP VP nominee’s sixth event in the Silver State and, with national polls tight between Romney and President Barack Obama, Ryan said Tuesday’s election could come down to Nevada.
"Look, a handful of states are gonna figure this out. So many Americans are looking to you, right here in Reno, right here in Nevada, and a handful of states like my own. And they're looking to you to make sure that you cast your vote for actual real change. That you cast your vote to get us off this dangerous path that we are on and back on the right track," he said to the roughly 1,000 people in attendance.
Ryan was joined by his wife and three children in addition to Romney’s son, Craig, at this first stop of the day less than 24 hours before polls open.
“Nevada we are counting on you. We know you can do this. We are in this together and let's just run through the tape, let's leave it all on the field,” Ryan asked supporters before heading off to Colorado for his next event.

In rleated news Mitt Romney admits instead of raising taxes while Governor of MA he raised fees on everything imagineable. Romney also finally admits he only grew the workforce participation by a mere 0.5% during his tenure.
It would be nice if he actually wanted the job and not just the title of President. Typical CEO.
eddie munster aka Lyan Ryan.....Nevada is NOT going to go Red for you or myth robme....neither will Ohio, PA, Wisc or IA......the party is over for you two.......now you both can go somewhere and mull over the mysterious tax returns that neither of you wanted to reveal.....and take all the lyin ads with you that Karl Rove dreamt up....oh a word to the Kochs and Adelson...you CANNOT buy America...we are NOT for sale
MITT ROMNEY PAID ZERO TAXES 1996 - 2009:
Using a tax shelter called a CRUT (charitable remainder unitrust) that was held by the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Mitt Romney was able to pay zero taxes (legally) every single year from 1996 to 2009. Why did he stop in 2009? Because he would make public his 2010 tax return, that is why.This tax loophole was killed by Congress in 1997. However those including Romney that were already using it were allowed to continue it. The way it works, is that Romney makes a "charitable" contribution to the Church of Latter Day Saints and it goes into a trust. Since the trust is held by the church, the money is tax deferred. Any capital gains, are non taxed because of the charities status. Like an annuity, the donor gets a charitable tax deduction and an stream of cash payments. When Romney dies, the church accepts full ownership..
Now we understand why Romney refused to show more than TWO Tax Returns.
crap, now the Munster's theme will be running in my head all day
Well if you've got that song running through your head, here's about the best version I've ever heard. Enjoy.
"Can't, that's the real C word." Marty Huggins
Romney and Ryan
Have done it , they have gotten Middle Class Republicans to vote for a Tax cut for the Very Rich and for the Middle Class to pay for it in higher taxes, higher Health Care Cost, Lower Wages, Lower Pensions
You gotta hand it to the Republicans who else would have thrown their own Middle Class Republicans under the bus and got them to vote for it
They have also got the Republican Women to vote against Equal pay for Equal work, got them to agree that Women cannot make their own decisions on their own bodies let lone Health Care choices and that their place is in the Home taking care of the kids
Yes Republicans sure know how to screw people and make them love it
Romney and Ryan the very rich and screw everyone else even Middle Class Republicans OLD and POOR
Yes you gotta hand it to Romney and Ryan they sure know how to keep their Women and Middle Class Republicans in line
Dang gremlins, trying again....
Won't let me post a link to You Tube, if you're interested look for los Straitjackets at the Continental Club. Rippin' version of the Munster's theme.
Why do all the sheep want that Muslim back in the White House for another four years?

Pee Wee Herman Paul's Roadshow is a Joke - his Federal Budgetary analysis is comical, Ryan tries to convince America that 1+1=3.
So Ryan is standing in a barn flapping his gums when the barn catches fire caused by the candidates trousers igniting straw and elephant fecal matter brought in by the candidate and his entourage. The trouser fire is reported as being caused by the candidate's propensity for stretching the truth and downright prevarication.

Why Romney Will Win
12:20 PM, Nov 5, 2012 • By FRED BARNES
Mitt Romney will win. The tie in the polls goes to the challenger. Here's why:
Enthusiasm. It matters enormously, and it's disproportionately on the Republican side, in good measure because of an intense desire to defeat President Obama. True, enthusiasm doesn't guarantee an edge in turnout, but it's certainly a key indicator. "In these final days, turnout is driven by intensity," says Republican pollster Ed Goeas. The nearly half the electorate that strongly disapproves of Obama's performance in office "will need little else other than the opportunity to vote against President Obama to motivate them to go to their polling place." Goeas conducts the bipartisan Battleground Poll along with Democrat Celinda Lake.
In 2008, self-identified Democrats led Republicans in turnout by seven percentage points. Gallup's projection is that Republicans will have a 49-46 percent edge this year. "The political environment and the composition of the likely electorate strongly favor Governor Romney," Goeas says. The Battleground Poll's "vote election model" projects Romney with 51 percent.
Ground game. The Obama get-out-the-vote drive (GOTV) is not quite the powerful juggernaut it was in 2008 and the Republican effort is far better than four years ago. The Republican National Committee isn't alone this time. Americans for Prosperity and a coalition of a dozen conservative groups—from the National Rifle Association to the Republican Jewish Coalition—have put together a massive GOTV effort focused on swing voters in key states. They've averaged 1.8 million phone calls per day in recent days.
Early voting numbers are further evidence of ground game parity. Democrats have a slight edge, but their numbers are down significantly from 2008. Far more Republicans have voted early this year than in 2008.
Undecideds. Undecided voters are thought to vote disproportionately for the challenger over a sitting president. In truth, there's no empirical evidence for this widely acknowledged tendency. But to the extent it exists, it helps Romney. Goeas, for one, figures most still undecided voters simply won't vote.
Indicators. Many point to a Romney win. He does well among "high-propensity-voting" blocs such as, in the Battleground Poll, seniors (54 percent), married voters (56 percent), weekly church attendees (59 percent), white evangelicals (79 percent), and gun owner householders (60 percent). He also leads among key demographic groups such as suburban voters (54 percent), Catholics (53 percent), and middle class voters (52 percent).
Obama has large leads among groups such as Hispanics with a lower propensity to vote. "If the president's campaign is not able to replicate his 2008 electorate (which is looking increasingly unlikely), the president loses," Goeas says.
Issues. The most important ones favor Romney: the economy, the deficit, and the debt. Independents, the demographic group most sensitive to these issues, went for Obama by eight percentage points in 2008. Now they're tilting to Romney by roughly the same percentage.
Conclusion: Romney will be elected the 45th president of the United States.

After reading it, I’m sure you’ll rush right out and vote for him!
Lyining Ryan, you donot have Christian Values either. since you are a Catholic I guess you will have to say a lot hail mary's for all you have lied about. Not voting for you.
Ryan wants to destroy American values that protect women, people of color,the poor and needy seniors and the incapacitated. He undermines the essence of this country and would impose his zealot driven religion on all. The man hates all the traditional "Christian" values of this democracy. Jesus cannot be very happy with this guy!Paul Ryan is the one who is"the other."
I think Hillary wants to give Mitt some of that Oval Office action.
