Paul Ryan, R-Wis., listens during a campaign rally in Powell, Ohio. Romney and Ryan are the political world?s newest odd couple. They?re bound by substance, but dramatically different in their styles. The running mates share a love of policy, and a fascination with the world?s economy and America?s place in it. But where Romney is buttoned-up and reserved on the campaign trail, Ryan is relaxed and exudes a natural enthusiasm. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
