With less than three months until election day, the race for The White House is heating up.

It's been less than a week since Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan as his running mate.

The Republican campaign is playing defense about Ryan's conflicting positions on President Obama's stimulus package.

For years Ryan has insisted the president's stimulus program was ineffective, but when he was challenged on letters from his office requesting stimulus cash to create jobs, he seemed less sure.

It turns out ryan did request the stimulus money, but in a statement said the letters were just "constituent services," and he hadn't changed his views on the program's effectiveness.
