Romney Assessing VP Candidates on 6-State Tour 
-----------------------------------------------


 
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited Wisconsin on
Monday as part of a six-state bus tour. Romney's campaign has used the
jaunt to assess a number of prospective vice presidential nominees,
including Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. On Monday, Romney appeared with
Ryan, as well as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, on the heels of Walker's
recall victory two weeks ago. Speaking to supporters, Romney predicted
he will carry Wisconsin on election day.

Mitt Romney: "I'll tell you, I think President Obama had just put this
in his column. He just assumed from the very beginning Wisconsin was
going to be his, but you know what? We are going to win Wisconsin, and
we are going to get the White House."
