Rep. Paul Ryan told the Wisconsin crowd, “You know what? On Tuesday we save Wisconsin, and on Nov. 6, Wisconsin saves America.”

Ryan didn’t mention anything about Romney specifically (nor VP rumors) in his very short speech — main focus on #wisconsinrecall

Clinton spoke to the importance of recalling Governor Scott Walker: “Ordinarily, I’m against recall elections. I went to try to fight one in California…But sometimes, it is the only way to avoid a disastrous course. Sometimes, it is the only way to avoid being misunderstood.”
