Though the Mitt Romney campaign app [got off to a slow start](https://ivn.us/editors-blog/2012/08/10/twitter-preemits-romney-vp-app/), it has finally caught up to the social networks like Twitter that virally spread [news reports of a possible Paul Ryan pick](https://ivn.us/2012/08/10/mitt-romney-vp-pick-paul-ryan/) late Friday, and [confirmed those reports](http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/11/us-usa-campaign-romney-idUSBRE87919120120811?ref=ivn.us) early Saturday with these words:

> "Mitt's choice for VP is Paul Ryan. Spread the word about America's comeback team."
