Paul Ryan officially declares his candidacy for House speaker

Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan officially announced that he is running for the top leadership post in the House after receiving the support of the major Republican caucuses.

Ryan Paul

House Republicans anointed Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as their choice to be the next speaker of the House during a closed-door party meeting Wednesday.

Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, currently chairs the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, but as speaker he will be next in line after the vice president for the presidency and one of the most powerful Republicans in the United States. He'll have the daunting task of unifying the House GOP, which enjoys a strong majority on Capitol Hill but has been split over government spending and how to square off against President Barack Obama.

The full House, including Democrats, will vote Thursday to officially choose a new speaker. With the support of the vast majority of his GOP colleagues -- gained after a game of hard-to-get that lasted for weeks -- Ryan is now on a glide path to take the top House leadership position being vacated by Rep. John Boehner. Ref. CNN

As a Wisconsinite myself, I just want people to know that if you want to punch Ryan in the face, it's all right. He has a face many people would like to punch. The funny thing about him is that while Governor Walker may have been promised political currency to reward him for his hardline stance here in Wisconsin against teacher's unions and other civil servants, it's Ryan who appears to be capitalizing after Walker flamed out in the presidential nominee race..

"This is not conservatism," the Wisconsin representative said, adding, "Some of our best and biggest allies in this struggle and fight against radical Islam terror are Muslims." Ref. CNN
