From ‘Very Excited’ To Predicting ‘Disaster’: What Wis. Says About Paul Ryan

News that Paul Ryan was chosen as Mitt Romney’s running mate had people in his hometown of Janesville, Wis., abuzz Saturday morning. But the strong feelings Ryan provokes elsewhere for and against his policies were also evident.

On her way into the Janesville post office, Corrine Smith has a smile on her face. She and her husband are both big Paul Ryan supporters, and they were thrilled when they heard the news.

“Actually, I heard about it early this morning, and I did not tell my husband; he was in the office working,” she says. “And [I] heard him this morning when he heard [and] let out a ‘Whoo!’ So, very excited about the pick.”
