Ryan: Which of Mitt's Many Sides Are You On?

http://www.thenation.com/blog/170497/debate-question-paul-ryan-which-mitts-many-sides-are-you

The inconvenient truth about this year’s Republican ticket is that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan disagree.

A lot.

The substantive differences between Romney and Ryan on issues ranging from tax policy to entitlement reform to reproductive rights are jarring. And they provide the outline that Vice President Joe Biden would be wise to focus on as he debates Ryan tonight.

Biden goes into this critical debate looking not just for Ryan’s soft spots—of which there are many—but also for ways in which to slow whatever momentum the Republican ticket gained after Mitt Romney turned in a stronger than expected performance in last week’s presidential debate.

It’s possible to do both by noting the many, many areas where Ryan and Romney—at least the version of Romney that’s currently on the campaign trail—are in stark disagreement.
