Here’s one of those “why bother” articles from Rep. Paul Ryan’s “hometown” newspaper, the Janesville Gazette, on tackling the seemingly fictitious question, “what’s in it for us (district) if Ryan became the House Speaker?”

For one, the question itself posed at this juncture in Paul Ryan’s political career begs a special sort of low-info voter curiosity about his record versus traditionally held expectations from those in Congress. So if you’re familiar at all with Congressman Ryan, the answer is an easy “nothing.” To put it another way, whatever your perception is of Ryan’s contributions to the 1st Congressional District of Wisconsin, nothing will change if he becomes House Speaker. Things will stay the same as before.
