Governor romney Quote by Paul Ryan
“Were a full generation apart, Governor Romney and I. And, in some ways, were a little different. There are the songs on his iPod, which Ive heard on the campaign bus and on many hotel elevators. He actually urged me to play some of these songs at campaign rallies. I said, I hope its not a deal-breaker Mitt, but my playlist starts with AC/DC, and ends with Zeppelin.”
