In somewhat of a surprise, Rep. Paul Ryan won reelection Tuesday with the lowest margin of his career, claiming just under than 55 percent of the vote in the Republican vice presidential candidates southern Wisconsin district. President Obama won Rock County, Ryans home, with more than 60 percent of the vote. With three terms under his belt as Budget Committee chairman or ranking member, Ryan would need a waiver from House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) to maintain that gavel. Most GOP insiders expect he will be granted the waiver.
