In this photo taken June 3, 2010, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, 40, speaks during a listening session at Gateway Technical College in Kenosha, Wis. Ryan, the ranking Republican member on the House Budget committee, is a self-described conservative fascinated with economic issues.

He has ruled out a presidential bid in 2012, but conservative leaders are already floating him as a top vice presidential pick. He's playing a key role as Republicans try to win back Congress.
