Asked on “Fox News Sunday” if Paul Ryan will overshadow Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) joking brought up his selection of Sarah Palin in 2008.

“I had that problem,” he said, laughing.

“No, I don’t think that’s the case. I think this is a team that understands the challenges that we face,” he continued. “And Americans recognize that running mates are very important but it’s the top of the ticket, obviously, that’s what the voters decide on as they enter the ballot booth.”
