After weeks of waiting, Mitt Romney finally announced his running mate: Wisconsin's own Paul Ryan. But who exactly is he? The Huffington Post produced a great post about Ryan and his ideas for the country. I reblogged that post below.

In other state news, Tommy Thompson won the GOP primary for the open U.S. Senate seat on Tuesday. He will face Tammy Baldwin on election day this fall. Below is a video about the highly contested race.
Next week, Michelle Obama will be visiting Wisconsin to meet with family members of the Sikh temple shooting victims. The assignments are the same as they have been in weeks past – one reblog and one state related post.
