Paul Ryan not only could not win his home state for the GOP, he couldn't even bring along his congressional district. Obama won Ryan's Wisconsin 1st District by 51%-48%.
In retrospect, Romney would have been better off selecting Ron Portman, who might have been able to give Romney Ohio. Better yet, he could have chosen Bob McDonnell, who might have been able to bring Virginia into the GOP fold. McDonnell would have been a good choice, especially since Virginia was a closer race (51%-48%) than Wisconsin (53%-46%), where Romney never really had a chance.
