Ryan calls for an American 'turnaround,' with Romney in the lead Aug 30th 2012, 02:34 TAMPA, Fla. –  Paul Ryan, formally accepting his party's nomination for vice president, said Wednesday that it's time for a "turnaround" in America, as he accused Democrats of dividing the country. "Their moment came and went," Ryan said. "Fear and division is all they've got left." Ryan brought the crowd to its feet when he took the stage. He waited through sustained applause to begin. "After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround," Ryan said, "and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney." Ryan's speech sets the stage for Mitt Romney's nomination acceptance speech Thursday, which will close out the party's convention and be the GOP's last word before Democrats convene in Charlotte, N.C., for their nomination gala. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie fired up the crowd Tuesday on the opening night – delayed by a day over Tropical Storm Isaac. Christie left it to Ryan to get into the particulars of what a Romney-Ryan ticket pledges to achieve for America. Those particulars have proved controversial. Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, is the author of a Medicare plan that has been a punching bag for Democrats for years, but even more so since he was tapped as Romney's running mate. Democrats continued to hammer Ryan on the morning of the speech, releasing a web video that cast him as a regressive choice from a "bygone era."
