Romney VP announcement in Norfolk, VA tomorrow at 9am EST

Menzies House U.S. Politics Editor Amir Iljazi with all the news on the 2012 US Election

Fox News' Carl Cameron has confirmed that Mitt Romney will announce his VP pick tomorrow at 9am EST in Norfolk, VA.

The Weekly Standard is reporting that the campaign is making preparations for a Paul Ryan selection, but also one or two other candidates (my guess is Portman and Christie are the other two)

Could be a huge headfake here, but all signs are pointing to Paul Ryan... but we'll know for sure tomorrow and I will be sure to update!

UPDATE (12:11am)- NBC News reporting that Paul Ryan will be the VP choice

UPDATE (12:18am)- Multiple sources now confirming that Paul Ryan will be the VP choice

So if it isn't Ryan, then it has to be someone else with big-name recognition... Rubio or even Christie possibly.

Olympic gold vs sportsmanship. opinion. Australia usually punches above its weight at the Olympics, particularly in the pool events but not this time in London despite a swimming squad touted to grab a sack of gold. Instead, unexpected failure won tears and the ugly face of poor sportsmanship. It’s not so much that our swimmers weren’t good enough, it was that they were not at their best on the day—Magnussen swam nearly two seconds slower than his qualifying time. Why were they under par for the biggest and most trained for swim of their lives? The answer to that will keep the Australian Olympic...

Romney Goes Bold: Paul Ryan selected for VP Menzies House U.S. Politics Editor Amir Iljazi on Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as VP Multiple sources (not including the Mitt VP App) have now confirmed that Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan will be selected as Mitt Romney’s running-mate in a formal appearance in Norfolk, VA at 9am EST this morning. I will be the first to admit that while I had Congressman Ryan in my Final Four Veepstakes Bracket, he was the fourth most likely of those I wrote about in that post. The reason he was ranked lowest of the four… he is by far the riskiest of...
