Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has selected Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate.
The candidate made his announcement to supporters via a phone app, saying — quote — “Mitt’s Choice for VP is Paul Ryan.” The GOP ticket was set to appear together at 9 A.M. Eastern in Norfolk, Va.
Romney and Ryan are kicking off a four-day bus tour that will take them to as many states.
At 42, Ryan is a generation younger than the 65-year-old Romney.

I am thrilled with this pick. Ryan has integrity, he is articulate and can explain in simple terms what these complicated (in some passive brains) issues are and how to solve them. He is a Constitutionalist, consistent and a good moral man. I think they compliment ea. other. Now let’s take it to the Liar n Chief
I would have still rather seen Allen West picked for the VP position ! But I’m not afforded the right to pick, so I’ll have to be satisfied. Any thing is better than OHOMO up to and including a dead skunk in the middle of the road that has been turned into pavement pizza !
