5. It will most likely be Jack Ryan
But according to conventional wisdom, repubs have little chance of winning in this increasingly democratic state.

6. Ryan's got a problem with his last name as well.
Although he does have a lot of his own money to spend on the campaign, some voters may still see "Ryan" and think of our former governor; the one under indictment.

8. Good News
The good news is that it appears Jack Ryan will win the republican primary. The reason its good is because he has a history that will be exposed during the campaign. The one important aspect is his divorce records and the child custody court papers.

12. Welcome to DU, Odeum
I must confess that I know little or nothing about Jack Ryan. Obama's going to need money, however, because I do know that Ryan has a personal fortune to use.

14. Ryan's Divorce papers?
I just wonder if he's going to campaign on the sanctity of marriage.
