GOP field on the Ryan budget

Aides to Harry Reid suggest the Senate Majority Leader will force Republicans to vote on the increasingly unpopular Paul Ryan budget. Crowds in the districts of Republicans are blasting their elected officials for voting for a budget that ends Medicare as we know it.

So let's catch up with some of the candidate statements floating around out there:

Tim Pawlenty said Ryan was offering "real leadership" with his budget.

Mitt Romney "applaud[ed]" the Ryan budget, and then basically made a sales pitch for his revised book.

However, Newt Gingrich was less supportive, focusing specifically on dissolving Medicare into a private voucher system.

More reactions as they come up.
