Is Ryan Romney's Merlin?

In lore, Merlin was a wizard, a seer, an adviser to King Arthur.  In many ways Ryan could be that man for a President Romney.

In terms of budgets and spending, he is truly a wizard.  Ryan has shown himself to fully understand budgeting by Congress and the Executive branches.  It seems like, in minutes, he can slice, dice and dissect them; easily exposing the good, the bad, and the ugly of any government spending plan.  In fact, he made his mark when he confronted Obama over the budgeting tricks and lies used in trying to pass ObamaCare into law (click to view video).

At the same time, he is a seer. He's earned the title of being the  "intellectual" of the Republican party.  After 14 years in Congress he knows Washington politics.  He clearly has the "vision" to understand the consequences of anything that Congress is up to.

Like Merlin to King Arthur, Ryan will be an excellent adviser to Romney.  And, that's what great leaders want.  They surround themselves with very talented people as advisers and with people who can get the job done without any useless hand holding.  That's why Romney was so successful at Bain Capital and in his fixing of the Utah Olympics.  Romney-Ryan is a great team.  Because, great people collectively equal great results.
