So Ryan is still running for his House seat according to his opponent Rob Zerban.

I got this email Sunday and intend to donate.


Rob Zerban. Along with President Obama and Vice President Biden, I have the unique privilege of being the other candidate who gets to defeat Paul Ryan this year.

That's because despite running for Vice President, Paul Ryan is still running for Congress in Wisconsin. And I'm his progressive opponent.

I've been preparing for over a year now. I have a great team and raised over a million dollars in grassroots donations -- more than all of Ryan's opponents in the last 10 years combined. But to finish the job, I need your help.

Can you donate $3 to my campaign so that we can keep Paul Ryan's extremist views out of the White House AND Congress?

2. Yes. He can still do this. McCain was able to remain in his Senate seat. And Michele Bachmann

Is still running for her seat. It's not unusual.

3. Breaking News - Paul Ryan convinced Obama will win in November

So he's protecting his day job.

4. Didn't Lieberman run for re-election

in 2000 when he and Gore ran?
And McCain ran for Senate reelection in 2008.

So not unusual.

5. McCain won reelection in 2010

but, you're right this is not unusual .... going back even farther in history LBJ ran for reelection to the Senate in 1960 when he ran as VP under JFK.

6. I saw reported that Biden ran for his Senate seat in '08, too. n/t

[budkin]

7. I though Obama did that as well?

and/or Biden?

8. Could Ryan lose both the VP and House Rep races?

It's probably too good to be true, but how nice would it be if he was totally out of the picture as a result of both November elections?

9. That would be wonderful.
