Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan, 42, has been chosen as Mitt Romney's running mate. Choosing the fiscally conservative Ryan has widely been seen as a bold but smart move for Romney. Ryan, who has served in Congress since 1998, rose quickly through the ranks and now serves as chair of the House Budget Committee.
