Have no fear, conservatives, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told Wisconsin radio Friday: Mitt Romney is the real deal. In his second appearance since publicly endorsing Romney Friday morning on Fox News, Ryan told the hometown crowd back in Wisconsin not to worry about Romney’s conservative credentials.
“Look, I was not a fan of Bob Dole being our nominee in 1996. I didn’t support John McCain throughout the primary, I supported other people last time,” he said. “This is not the same kind of candidate. I believe Mitt Romney, from just talking to him, understands the enormous, precarious moment America is facing now and exactly what it’s going to take to get this country back on track and I don’t think he’s going to cut and run. I think he’s going to get the principals right.”
Both Dole and McCain are prominent supporters of Romney, and have acted as his surrogate on the campaign trail.
