Paul Ryan is a Time Magazine Runner-Up Person of the Year

Calling him a prophet of sorts for taking on some of the country's near-and-dear entitlement programs, the magazine says we should give him some credit if the 2012 elections are between clear choices.

Congressman Paul Ryan has swept through the First Congressional District of Wisconsin a few times this year to talk with residents about how he thinks American can get back on track.

Those ideas for tax reform, spending freezes and tackling federal entitlement programs have certainly gotten a lot of attention, especially over the last several months.

The editors at Time Magazine certainly think he's hit on something: Time Magazine has named Ryan one of its Runners-Up for "Person of the Year."
