Paul Ryan's Toxicity Test Results Known This Coming Week

The number of Republican Senators who vote against Wisconsin Wunderkind Paul Ryan's Medicare demolition plan later this week will tell us how toxic it is.

I figure at least half-a-dozen - - some are already saying they are being given a pass by leadership - - though I am sure there will be the requisite compliment-laden windbaggery for Ryan first.

Conservative GOP Senate candidates, like Virginia's George Allen, are already distancing themselves from the plan; which incumbents with seats to defend in 2012 want angry constituents showing up at their town hall meetings for the next year-and-a-half?

Ron Johnson might think people will forget his "Yes" vote: prove him wrong.
