The presumed Republican presidential nominee and his running mate hit the campaign trail in swing state Virginia.
For those who may have been living in a bubble over the weekend, Mitt Romney picked U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, of Wisconsin, to share the Republican ticket in this fall’s presidential campaign. And shortly after the announcement, Romney, the presumed Republican nominee, and Ryan hit the road, making a stop in Manassas. Northern Virginia is considered critical to either candidate winning Virginia, which President Barack Obama won in 2008. Obama is only the second Democrat to win Virginia since 1952. Virginia Gov.
