Ryan says no to presidential bid

Romney vs. Bush: The establishment match-up

“It’s clear our country needs a change in direction. And our party has a responsibility to offer a real alternative. So I’m going to do what I can to lay out conservative solutions and to help our nominee lead us to victory,” Ryan added.

“I think we’ve got a number of very capable candidates who have every ability to become president. There are a lot of talented people,” he told NBC in a phone interview. “I think it is critical that our party puts forward bold, conservative ideas and give people a choice. I think we have a number of capable leaders who can do that.”
