Paul Ryan Amps Up — The Youth Vote?

Turnstyle on Wednesday, Aug. 29th

A version of this story is also airing on NPR’s All Things Considered.

Youth Radio reporter Robyn Gee is in Tampa along with the YR and TurnstyleNews election team.

Paul Ryan was officially nominated yesterday as Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate. There’s a lot of excitement about the choice, some of it because of the hope that Ryan’s youthfulness can benefit the party’s image.

When you talk to young conservatives at the Republican National Convention in Tampa about their vice presidential candidate, they’re nothing short of dreamy-eyed. Ryan is about as close to a bona fide celebrity as the party’s got.  What congressman wouldn’t welcome the comparisons we heard — to stars like Paul Rudd, Ryan Gosling, and Carson Daly?

Read the full version as part of  Youth Radio’s Convention 2012 special coverage.
