NORFOLK, Va. – Mitt Romney unveiled Saturday morning Representative Paul Ryan as his choice for running mate, a bold move that comes at the end of an intense selection process and is likely to shake up a presidential race out of the summer doldrums.

Romney sent out the announcement, which began to leak early this morning, through a smart-phone application, alerting supporters simply: “Mitt’s Choice for VP is Paul Ryan.”

Romney and Ryan are slated to appear together on the waterfront here, with the USS Wisconsin serving as the backdrop. Lines formed in the early hours of the morning, with supporters snaking around the Nauticus Museum where the announcement was scheduled to take place.

Romney’s campaign also sent out a press release branding Romney and Ryan as “America’s Comeback Team” and providing a brief biography of Ryan, who has been a prominent seven-term congressman but is also relatively untested on the national stage.
