GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, left, apologizes for being underdressed, saying he had just come from a factory in Danville, Va., and joking with Pete Snyder, who introduced him during a stop at the Romney/Ryan campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va. on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012. Ryan came by the office to thank top producers from Northern Virginia campaign offices for all their hard work, noting that it is personal connections like their 100,000 phone calls that will make a difference in the upcoming election.
