Video: Romney introduces Paul Ryan as his running mate

The VP choice was unveiled this morning in Norfolk, Virginia, as Mitt Romney officially named Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. Here is video of Romney’s introduction and Ryan’s remarks:

Report from the Los Angeles Times:

NORFOLK, Va. — In the shadow of a military battleship, Mitt Romney formally named Paul Ryan as his running mate Saturday, saying that the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman was the “intellectual leader” of the Republican Party with the experience to tackle the fiscal crises facing the nation and the temperament to be effective.

“Paul and I are beginning on a journey that will take us to every corner of America,” Romney told thousands of supporters gathered on a muggy morning here, shortly before introducing Ryan and embracing him. “We are offering a positive governing agenda that will lead to economic growth, to widespread and shared prosperity, and that will improve the lives of our fellow citizens. Our plan to strengthen the middle class will get America back to work and get our country back on track.”

The men, dubbed “America’s Comeback Team” by the campaign, appeared together at the USS Wisconsin, a retired battleship whose name was a nod to the state in which Ryan was born and which he has represented in Congress for seven terms. Romney appeared in a light blue tie and no jacket, while Ryan wore a dark jacket and no tie.

Ryan has been described as a “safe but bold” choice given the other options Romney was considering. We’ll see in the coming days how this choice plays out leading up to the convention at the end of the month.
