http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/emotional-homecoming-for-paul-ryan-in-wisconsinTeary running mate's first words in home state: Hi, Mom.
What, he was gone 24 hours?

Ryan's hokey, midwest humor was on full display as he recounted his roots in Janesville, where he still lives on the same block he grew up on.
"My veins run with cheese, bratwurst, and a little Spotted Cow and some Miller's," he said in homage to his state. "I even think ice fishing is interesting."
"I see my family over there thats half the stadium," he joked. "I have lots of family."
I love you Paul, interrupted a man. Without missing a beat, and with his voice cracking, an emotional Ryan replied, I love you too man.

Living on the same block he grew up on is hardly a sacrifice in this case!
I'm not begrudging him a nice house, it's his "aw'shucks, it's just a sweet little starter cottag"e attitude!
