Paul Ryan may prove to be a hazardous running mate as the Romney campaign pushes forward on the campaign trail. Working class Republicans – when they really pay attention to the Ryan budget plan – are going to be extremely nervous about the economic possibilities that come with a Romney/Ryan ticket. Conversely, many economic conservatives will find themselves very uncomfortable with some of Ryan’s relatively radical social positions.
On Monday, August 13, I joined Reverend Al Sharpton and Margie Omero on PoliticsNation to discuss the latest feedback on Romney’s choice of running mate. Watch the clip below for a more in-depth analysis of what it is going to take for the Romney campaign to consolidate its base without ostracizing conservatives on the fence.

Culture war comes front and center with Ryan pick
As conservative as Rep. Paul Ryan is on budget matters, he is even further to the right on social issues. He co-sponsored a personhood amendment and is against abortion in all situations. Catherine Crier, author of “Patriot Acts: What America Must Do to Save the Republic”, and Margie Omero, Democratic Strategist, join PoliticsNation to discuss Ryan’s social beliefs.
Paul Ryan is a very misguided Catholic, he will not appeal to majority of Catholics. Bishops and Nuns united to call Ryan Budget “Immoral.”
