Ryan's backup plan

[Danny_boi 16]

(AP)--Paul Ryan has a backup plan.

In addition to being Republican Mitt Romney's running mate, the Wisconsin congressman is seeking re-election to the U.S. House. Ryan has held his 1st District seat in southeast Wisconsin since 1998.

State law allowed Ryan to run for VP and Congress at the same time.

It's been an uphill climb for his challengers for the House, Democratic businessman Rob Zerban and Libertarian Keith Deschler. Zerban tried for weeks — unsuccessfully — to get Ryan to debate him.

And what if Ryan wins twice Tuesday?

He would have to resign from Congress and a special election would be held to fill the House seat.

Looking at the time you posted it, it was already past the point where Obama won the Election, but I'm sure he will get his seat, idk just guessing.

But yes, Paul Ryan easily won another term in his House seat. In all honesty, no surprise there.
