House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said Mitt Romney is looking stronger as a candidate.

“I don’t know if I’d say he has it wrapped up,” he said. “He’s clearly on his way. I think he’s becoming the prohibitive frontrunner. And I think the sooner we coalesce around a nominee the better off we’re going to be. Because, you know, the prize is November, not this summer.”

Ryan left the door open to the being the GOP’s vice presidential nominee.

“I would have to consider it [if asked],” he said, “but it’s not something I’m even thinking about right now.”
