And so it begins. Or rather: And so it continues. Libs were up late Friday night rehashing all their old talking points about Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan’s fiscally conservative budget plan.
Why the Paul Ryan pick instantly transforms the campaign into a referendum on budget-slashing and Medicare vouchers http://t.co/oSXN3pNW

@joshua_eaton Obama team should just run on the Ryan budget, he would be a gift to the Democrats

(Twitchy debunked the Ayn Rand card here.)
Conservatives pushed back hard and quickly with reminders of their own. Let’s hope the Romney camp is prepared to do the same. (Looking at you, Andrea Saul.)
Yeah, Ryan and his budget will be a real liability for the Romney campaign. Say, how many votes have Obama's "budgets" gotten again?

Obama budget proposal: 0 votes; Ryan budget 228. #tcot

The budget that got more Dem votes than Obama’s? RT @olivermacdonald: Paul Ryan as Romney pick? Wouldn't his budget plan be too divisive?

Ppl forget Obama already did a whole speech practically saying Romney wanted to kill old people for supporting Ryan budget. Got him nowhere.

#Democrats already starting the attacks- comments all focused on #Ryan budget- Good lets force the conversation to be about the economy

Watch GOP Rep. Ryan get Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to admit that Obama administration officials “don’t have a definitive solution” to massive unfunded liabilities. “We just don’t like yours:”
Bring it on!
The Senate Democrats cant even pass a budget. #Ryan will mop the floor with Biden. #VoteObamaOut @MariaTCardona @MariaNYC

Tonight Joe Biden asked his aide how much money is in the budget. Start prepping for the debate now, Joe. Won't do you much good! #Ryan
