Novak on Ryan

Columnist Robert Novak has a piece today on Wisconsin's own conservative barbarian-at-the-gate, Rep. Paul Ryan.

Here's the money:

Ryan, 38, top Republican on the House Budget Committee, has been working closely with freshman Rep. Kevin McCarthy, 43, who has been named chairman of the national platform by Minority Leader John Boehner, and Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, 45, the party's chief deputy whip. After another expected bad GOP defeat in the 2008 congressional elections, Ryan, McCarthy and Cantor could constitute the party's new House leadership.

Hat tip Charlie. And Sean Hackbarth has more.
