Ryan blasts Obama as he accepts VP nomination
None
Congressman Paul Ryan, a hero to conservatives and lightning rod for Democrats, accepted the Republican nomination as Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate Wednesday, saying the moment for President Barack Obama and his party "came and went."
Ryan's nationally televised speech on the second day of the storm-shortened Republican National Convention was a debut of sorts for the 42-year-old from the Midwestern state of Wisconsin, who was not well known outside Washington before being tapped by Romney this month as his partner in what is expected to be a tight presidential race.
