Ryan to speak Wednesday night at national convention
The RNC announced today that Paul Ryan will address the national convention Wednesday night, the traditional speaking slot for a VP nominee.
The Janesville Republican will be the last speaker of the night. Those speaking before him include two others that were considered for the vice presidential slot on the GOP ticket -- U.S. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
The Wednesday lineup also includes Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, while former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will be the final speaker before Ryan takes the stage.
