Three different sources close to the Romney campaign indicate to NBC News that Mitt Romney will announce House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential running mate at tomorrow's campaign event in Norfolk, VA.
The announcement will be in front of the U.S.S. Wisconsin -- which just happens to be Ryan's home state.
Ryan had been the focus of intense VP speculation for the last few days. Washington economic conservatives -- including the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Weekly Standard -- have pushed for his selection.
In addition, Romney told NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday he was looking for someone with "a vision for the country," who "adds something to the political discourse about the direction of the country” -- a sign that he might make a bold pick in Ryan.
At 11:11 pm ET, the Romney campaign announced that it would be making its VP selection on Saturday. And as First Read reported earlier this week, the VP finalists were Ryan, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman.

Paul Ryan is just another neo-con. His version of cafeteria Catholicism is just the flip side of Joe Biden's, only its more subtle since your average Neo-Catholic won't pick up on it. Also see this: http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=12714

Well Marco Rubio, the guy the "Tea Party" wanted to be the running mate, isn't any better. People need to understand it doesn't matter who gets picked, the problem lies in the Republican Party itself.
