Mitt Romney finally bit the bullet and made his big announcement over the weekend. He tapped young Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan — budget hawk and economics wunderkind — as running mate. Some call the Ryan selection a bold move, while others say the famously risk-averse Romney didn’t get radical enough to attract new voters to the ticket.

We talk through presidential developments as well as local contests here in Massachusetts.
