Looks like Paul Ryan, the Republican congressman from Wisconsin, is no sure bet to deliver his state to the Republican presidential ticket this fall.

Ryan was selected Saturday by GOP candidate Mitt Romney as his running mate. But a new CNN/ORC International poll, taken Aug. 13-14, showed President Barack Obama ahead of Ryan.

Obama led among registered voters, 49-45 percent. Among all voters, he was up 6.

1. Don't count Wisconsin as Blue just yet. Our elections are rigged.

2. And our population is quite divided.

Elections that are outside the margins of error of pre- and post-election polling are much more difficult to steal.

3. I think Wisconsin will vote for Obama.

Now if we just get our votes counted!

4. looks like picking Ryan only gave them one point. Obama was up 5, now up 4. no biggie.

7. It's a rare event for a vp pick to turn a state to the vp's party

The more Wisconsinites find out about their home boy and watch him flip flop and lie, live on television, the less likely it will be that he'll even hold his own seat, let alone win the vp.
