paul ryan may be that man. let me bring in andrea mitchell. andrea, setting it up, who knows if people are staying awake, or just coming home from dinner, but as we know, in eight hours, we'll officially have the republican ticket, romney-ryan. it's something of a ticket that i've heard democrats talk about for six months. explain. >> democrats think this is an opportunity for them, because they've been trying to demonize the ryan budget. this is their view of everything that's bad about the house republican caucus -- the ryan budget, the deep budget cuts, very controversial, very painful. and of course, if you talk to paul ryan and his caucus, they would say this is the budget that would bring america back and begin to spark economic growth. if you talk to most any democrats, it's exactly the opposite, painful, painful budget cuts. so this is the divide and now we'll have an election that will clearly be fought on this issue. i think you'd have to call it a game-change choice because it's clear that mitt romney did not think that he could win
