MILWAUKEE (AP) — Vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan is rallying the Republican faithful at a fundraiser in his home state of Wisconsin.

Ryan appeared at a fundraiser in Milwaukee on Saturday evening. He told donors in a 15-minute speech that President Barack Obama is driving the country deeper into debt.

The price of admission ranged from $250 for donors under age 35 to $100,000 for couples who wished to be designated “Founding Partners.” Jon Hammes, finance chairman for the Mitt Romney campaign in Wisconsin, told the crowd the event had netted $2.8 million.

A Marquette University Law School poll released earlier this week showed Obama with an 11-point lead over Mitt Romney in Wisconsin.

Poorrichard, that wouldn't be anything new for Wisconsin seeing as we haven't voted for a Republican since 1984.

Now why would you think that? You are the one who posts hate comments about Mormons, and Reid belongs to the same church as Romney.

Yada mouse brotherkoch, who ever you are posting at this hour. Enough with your bigot Mormon post. I wish you were as informed about Obama's beliefs and College transcripts and College entry forms and passport.
Why has he got those under lock and key paying a lawyer millions to keep secret??

11 point lead? If that's true (which I doubt) that tells me we are in real danger of becoming a third rate state.
