“He comes with a great big target on his back, and that’s Medicare,” said Steve Doocy. He noted that the Romney team will have to come out fast and try to define Ryan to the public before Democrats can.
“Here is what I think Democrats are thinking,” said Noonan. “Paul Ryan – young, very bright, seriously respected in Washington. Steve, that’s an unusual thing. Media folks in Washington have all known this fellow for about 15 years – they all respect him, whether they agree or not.
“This is a potentially powerful fellow. So, what are the Democrats going thinking, they’re thinking: kill him quick,” said Noonan. She went on to outline the attacks on Ryan which would focus on his proposals to reform entitlements.
Noonan outlined how she thinks Republicans can deflect those attacks, but she said they will have to act fast. Otherwise, Democrats may be able to define Ryan’s proposals for late deciding voters before Republicans have the chance.
