Paul Ryan open to being Romney’s VP

Published



Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he would “consider” running for vice president on the Republican ticket this fall, after indicating that he expects Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination.

Chris Wallace asked Ryan how he would respond if asked to run for vice president. “I would have to consider it,” Ryan answered on Fox News Sunday, “but it’s not something I’m even thinking about right now because right — I think our job in Congress is pretty important. And what we believe we owe the country is, if we don’t like the direction the president is taking us, which we don’t, we owe them a specific sharp contrast and a different path that they can select in November.”
