The Green Bay Packers aren't the only Wisconsin team having an impact these days. A trio of young Wisconsin politicians are now positioned to have a substantial influence on the future direction and success of the Republican Party.

Their names are Scott Walker, Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan. Walker is the newly elected governor of Wisconsin. Priebus is the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee. Ryan, perhaps the best known of the three, is the new chairman of the House Budget Committee and delivered the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address.

They all grew up in southern Wisconsin. They are close in age, ranging from late 30s to early 40s, and have known and worked with one another for many years. Ryan and Walker met when they were in their 20s. Ryan's chief of staff roomed with Priebus in college.
