and right in front of the "uss wisconsin," huh? >> reporter: his persona is mid western nice and fiscal hawk delivered his message. >> we won't duck the tough issues, we will lead. we won't blame others, we will take responsibility. >> reporter: romney campaign officials said the gop contender made his decision and called ryan on august 1. they then met four days later when ryan accepted the offer. for the first time campaigning as running mates across virginia, they smartened their rhetoric. >> it doesn't have to be this

way. we can turn it around. >> reporter: but romney warmed republicans that ryan will come under attack from democrats. it was ryan who once laid out a blueprint for cutting the deficit that included a plan to privatize social security. >> we're going to talk about issues and a vision for america and not drag them down in the dirt like you're seeing from the obama cam page. >> reporter: the romney campaign released a memo that says, as president, romney will be putting together his own plan for cutting the deficit and putting the budget on a path to balance. but as one romney adviser described the pick, it was an important decision as to how the governor plans to govern as president. still, there could be a generational upside. the 42-year-old ryan, who's joined on stage by his wife and small children, could help the gop ticket appeal to younger voters. an aide tweeted out pictures of ryan's children playing on the romney bus and making

sandwiches. but the day was not without its glitches. romney introduced ryan as the man at the top of the ticket. >> join me -- join me in welcoming the next president of the united states, paul ryan. >> a mistake romney correctly corrected. every now and then i'm known to make a mistake. i did not make a mistake with this guy. but i can tell you this, he's going to be the next vice president of the united states. >> reporter: as it turns out, president obama made the same mistake introducing joe biden four years ago. if that's the worst mishap of the day, the romney campaign will chalk up this rollout as a success. from here, the ticket rolls on to north carolina and then paul ryan's home state of wisconsin. jim acosta, cnn, manassas, virginia.

>> thanks, jim. we go now to wolf blitzer from washington. paul ryan not totally unexpected choice from mitt romney, but what is the obama camp doing now in terms of strategy? how do they come at this? >> they think they have an opportunity to get involved in some of the most sensitive issues, especially for seniors, some of the older voters out there in key battleground states like florida or pennsylvania or ohio, virginia, because paul ryan is outspoken, his budget plan does call for major changes in the way medicare for example, one of the entitlement programs, is dealt with. he says anyone over 55 years old doesn't have to worry about those changes creating a voucher program, if you will, for medicare recipients. but if you're under 55, he would like to change it. the democrats think that's an opening they can hit hard on and generate some support. so they say this is going to be good politics for them, what paul ryan and the republicans say, at least those republicans who support him, and i assume mitt romney is one of them since he selected them to be his vice

presidential running mate, is if you don't deal with these entitlement programs like medicare now, they're going to go away and the country can't afford them down the road. you have a crisis, you have to deal with it and deal head on. you can't ignore it. that's going to be the debate over the next 86, 87 days. >> that's what is going to be fascinating, the substantive issues on where each candidate stands and really sort of what each is going to do in terms of those welfare programs. you spoke to newt gingrich a little bit ago. what is his reaction to the romney-ryan plan? >> he thinks it's great. he was very supportive. he told me if he had won the presidential nomination, paul ryan would have been on the short list as his running mate. he thinks ryan is very smart, loves his bold ideas on dealing with these entitlement programs. the downside to paul ryan, he's relatively young, 42 years old, has no substantive national

security or foreign policy experience. almost all of this experience has been here in washington as a congressman. he's been in congress for 14 years, before that as a legislative aide. he worked for some think tanks in washington. so he doesn't have a lot of private business experience or anything along those lines. but mitt romney brings a lot of that experience. they both spoke about how their partnership today, they both bring different skills to the table. they think that will help come november. >> absolutely. you're seeing on one ticket a businessman and a budget watcher. so kind of interesting there. the president is gng to be in chicago. he's going to be doing some fund-raiser. do you think a lot more people will come out and give money now that this has been decided? >> i think there's going to be -- i know on the republican side, this is certainly going to energize the republican conservative base, because there were still plenty of conservatives out there who weren't really sure about mitt romney given the positions he took when he was governor of massachusetts. they didn't believe he was one

of them, if you will. they do believe in paul ryan, so i think paul ryan is going to raise a ton of money for the republican ticket. right now he's going to do really well. he couldn't have raised that money if we were just an outsider or a surrogate, but he will go out there to these events and raise a lot of money. on the democratic side, this will energize the democratic base, as well. so a lot more money. but what's good about all of this, i suspect the debate right now is going to be on the substantive policy issues as compared to some of the marginal issues out there. >> it will be fascinating to see what choices voters have and the issues who they decide they're going to vote for. wolf blitzer in washington, thanks so much. >> thank you. later, a close look at who paul ryan is. not just the politician, but the family man. a programming note. sunday on "state of the union with candy crowley," a special two-hour edition on romney's running mate choice.

it is the size of a football field. a massive sinkhole threatening to swallow up an entire neighborhood. 150 homes have been evacuated. as louisiana officials investigate whether an underground salt cavn may be to blame. ed, you just spoke with a company who manages the cavern. what are they telling you? >> reporter: deb, this company has been taking a lot of heat over the last few weeks. now the last few months here in this part of louisiana. they're saying they understand people's frustrations. they are frustrated -- they say they're just as frustrated many of these resident also be put of their homes because of these

evacuation orders for the next several weeks. but they are trying to figure this out as quickly as possible. that's the bottom line. no one knows for sure what has caused this sinkhole. there's a lot of attention being paid to this company that operates in this salt dome just on the property where this sinkhole happened. and a lot of focus on a cavern that was drilled and has been there for almost 30 years and perhaps that cavern collapsed and that's what caused this sinkhole. the company says they think this is as bad as it's going to get. >> so there was never any expectations that by plugging it we would lead to some catarophic failure. you know, it's also a little premature to speculate or conclude that the cavern failed in and of itself. there may have been some other process in play here thatcould have caused the cavern to fail which may have caused the

sinkhole. >> reporter: so that company, texas brine, is based out of houston. officials here say they're going to be forcing that company to help people who do evacuate from this area. it's not a forced evacuation, it's a highly suggested evacuation from this area, which applies to several hundred people, forcing that company to help people with accommodations. now the focus is on drilling a relief well into that cavern for integrity testing, to figure out if that cavern collapsed and is what has caused this sinkhole. but that is not expected to start until midweek and will take about 40 days. so there's a lot of uncertainty. local officials around here say out of an abundance of caution, they're going to stick with this mandatory evacuation order. there are other caverns that have highly flammable vapors and liquids in them, and they're worried with all the ground shifting and moffitt that those

could be compromised and cause in the words of one official, a catastrophic event here. so out of caution, they want to take those steps and those local officials are standing by those evacuation orders tonight. >> we hope once the relief well is done, we can send down sonar equipment to find out what's going on. if that is the gas source and they can vent nit a controlled fashion, we're done. we move on. but if the cavern is explored and that's not the source of the gas, then we don't know. we're going to have to start this process over. >> reporter: that will probably be the worst case scenario for residents, just trying to figure out what's going on. all of this started at the end of may. there were people who had gone out on boats along this bayou water and found bubbles coming up out of the water, which is what alerted people to something not quite right.

they believe that is natural gas that is naturally occurs here in this area and is trying to get to the surface and they believe that's coming from that cavern. if that is the case, they have at least pin pointed where the problem is coming from. for now, officials are hopeful this is as bad as it will get. but it's something they will continue to monitor. there's water and air quality monitoring being done every day and testing that situation to make sure everything is okay. so far, all of those tests have come back normal. >> ed, one quick question. when we talk about a sinkhole, because when i think about it, it's sort of the earth collapses and everything falls in on itself. do they have an understanding how much bigger this is going to get? because obviously the homes could be really resting on a foundation that is very vulnerable right now. >> in other conversations with the company, texas brine today,

they had a map and they were showing us that they -- what they think as far as wide as it can get, it's about 1300 feet in diameter. where we're standing now where the closest homes are, is probably about 2,000 feet. so everyone thinks even if this got to a catastrophic level here, that the homes -- it's not like all these homes would be falling into this sinkhole. so there seems to be some tempered expectation. at least local officials here in this part of louisiana are worried about that perhaps other sinkholes might emerge in other areas. and that is what they will continue to monitor. maybe a little connected with this one, but a sinkhole created in another area around that. that is what the concern is, and they say if they get more information that makes them feel more secure, they'll change their orders and recommendations for residents aroundhere. >> almost like a huge

coming up on the half hour now. hello, everyone. let's take a look at the headlines. congressman paul ryan is mitt romney's new running mate. just a few hours ago, ryan got big cheers at a rally in virginia. he's a catholic who opposes abortion and voted against gay marriage. you'll hear how democrats are reacting in a few minutes. it's been a deadly week for nato troops in afghanistan. an afghan believed to be a police officer opened fire and killed three u.s. marines in the helmand province friday. it was the second attack on nato troops in less than 24 hours and

the fourth attack in less than a week. thousands of people are sleeping outside in northwestern iran tonight after two powerful earthquakes and a series of after shocks shook the region. media reports that at least 180 people were killed. more than 1300 injured. and the death toll is expected to rise. emergency crews are now searching for survivors trapped beneath the rubble. door for congressman paul ryan's future. then congressman mark newman left the house in 1998 to run for the u.s. senate and worked to elect paul ryan as his replacement. he joins me now from madison, wisconsin. thank you so much. you worked closely with ryan on balancing the budget and he's stood very firm with his plan, ready to defend it. but is it going to give him trouble, giving the obama administration plenty to

counterattack? >> i don't think so. we were working on plans to balance the budget in the '90s and fought our way through and got the balance budget. when i left, it was natural to talk to paul ryan and it was natural for him to run for that spot. people are going to see in paul ryan what i saw in paul ryan back then. that's the ability to clearly articulate a message as to what we need to do to fix america. and his message, optimism and of an opportunity society where people can get a job and get a better life for themselves and family, take responsibility for theirives and family, the ability to articulate that message clearly and how to fix what's wrong in america, that is what paul ryan brings. >> in a speech this afternoon, ryan slammed president obama's economic policies. take a quick listen. >> you think the economy is headed in the right direction. >> no! >> do you think we're getting our debt a deficit under control? >> no! >> do you think the country is

on the right track? >> no! >> you know why? >> yes! >> because president obama is our president and he's put all of his policies in place and they're just not working. >> well, it's one thing to say the budget isn't working. the question is, can it be fixed given everything that people are facing right now? >> well, i think paul ryan is going to be a big help in that. if anybody understands this budget, paul ryan does and i think he's a very important pick for mitt romney. a great pick for mitt romney. everything he said i agree with him. they've added $5 trillion in debt in four years. our nation is on the brink of financial disaster if we don't turn it around. we need a paul ryan with his budget no budget knowledge and expertise to turn this around. >> when we look at the different policies and clearly, there are very defined distinctions.

is the gap between the haves and the have-nots simply going to grow and grow and grow? >> i don't think it's that as much of a difference of opinion whether we need more government who does more for peopler less government with less government spending where people take responsibility for themselves and their families. i think paul is a classic example of the all-american family with his thee children. he started as a small town kid in janesville, wisconsin and is going to become the vice president of the united states. >> when we look at that, because a lot of people would argue otherwise. they're going to say look, people need medicaid and medicare. there's a huge gap. people can't afford that. so if i'm hearing you correctly, just to play devil's advocate, you're saying take responsibility for your own care. >> well, what i'm saying is that there are two different views of how you help poor people in america. would one say government should provide all the solutions to all

the problems. that means more government spending and more government intervention in every aspect of our lives. the other point of view says we want about opportunity society where people have an opportunity to get a job and a job promion. that's where paul comes down. he wants people to have an opportunity, to have a job in this country. he believes if we are physically andmentally able to take care of ourselves in this country, we ought to be doing it. that's that opportunity society you hear paul ryan talking about, where people do have a chance to get a job. that's the optimistic vision he talks about. i'm running for united states senate out here, so i see him quite a bit. it's great to hear his optimism and talk about how we create an opportunity society where people, those poor people you're talking about don't rely on government to fix the problem. they get a job and go to work and take care of themselves and family and get a job promotion and have an opportunity for a

better life. i think the compassionate side, if somebody is physically not able to work, we want to take care of them. by if you are able to work, in this opportunity society that paul talks about, there will be job opportunities and opportunities for promotions. >> that is assuming there are jobs there in which they can work. one quick question, you said he's a very likable person. do you think that will translate across parties or do you think he'll become much more of a polarizing figure? >> no, no, i think that's across the whole board. when you see an all-american family like the ryan family, three beautiful children, started in vainsville, wisconsin, with no great push from anybody and worked very hard to live the american dream and somebody like that who can become the vice president of the united states, this is the american dream. this is an all-american family and the values they stand for, those are the values we need in this nation. >> congressman, thank you very

much. we appreciate your insights on paul ryan. >> thank you. a quick programming note. tomorrow night at this time 7:00 eastern, we'll bring you a cnn special on paul ryan, from his life to his family to his first two days as a candidate for vice president. that is tomorrow night. we'll see you here at 7:00 eastern. conservatives, they are raving about ryan. but how do the democrats feel? let's say they're less impressed by mitt romney's pick for vice president. ahead, a democratic member of ryan's own delegation tells us where she thinks romney went wrong.

democrats are howling about congressman paul ryan's new role

as the republican vice presidential pick. president obama said ryan and romney share a flawed theory. congresswoman gwenn moore joins us from milwaukee, wisconsin. what is your reaction to the paul ryan pick? >> actually, i was quite surprised that he was chosen for this. because i do think that we -- you know, mitt romney i think has benefited from the campaigning at 30 feet and not being very specific about his proposals, what smaller government would mean, what he would do around the economy. but now that he has essentially married my good friend and colleague paul ryan, we're very clear about what paul ryan has sought to do for his entire time

as a member of congress d as the chair of the budget committee. >> and congresswoman -- go ahead, i'm sorry. go ahead. >> well, i mean, he has sought in the past to privatize social security. he is basically eviscerating all of the entitlement programs, including medicare, where he provides a voucher to seniors which would essentially pass the increasing costs of health care onto seniors and estimates are that it would be as much as $6,000 a year. >> while you call representative ryan a friend of yours, you don't necessarily agree with where he stands on economic issues? >> oh, no, and he doesn't agree with me either. i'm a member of the budget committee, so i've spent countless hours looking through his charts and numbers and his position is the same failed

economic strategy that we've seen, certainly over the last decade. just to provide a lower tax burden on corporations, wealthy individuals, to increase taxes essentially on middle class folk. and raise no revenues simply eviscerate all of the safety net programs, medicare, medicaid, and essentially provide no substantial deficit reduction. >> knowing paul ryan as you do, do you think he's the kind of person that will be able to compromise? do you think there will be some sort of collaboration in the process? >> i think the next 80 or so days is not about compromising. i think what he's going to have to explain to the american people, he's a very personable person. it's hard not to like him. i'm sure that the romney campaign will get some kind of bump because he's a very

cheerful and pleasant person. but i think when you peel back the layers of his plan, he'll have to explain to the american people what -- how he wants to fundamentally change the social contract. >> congressman gwenn moore from wisconsin, we really thank you. and she touched on pa ryan kability. next ce look at ryan the politician andhe fily man. don't have t questions about eatmen where to go for extra help, how to live better with the disease. so many questions, where do you start? alzheimers.gov. the answers start here. you're not using too much are you, hon? ♪
