allie rasmus is live in alameda with what political observers are saying about why romney may have picked ryan. >> reporter: congressman paul ryan is a seven-term congressman from wisconsin, well liked by the tea party. ryan is also the chairman of the house budget committee and he got a lot of national attention last year when he proposed a budget plan that included some tax cuts, but also steep spending cuts to social programs. the ryan budget didn't end up passing, but republicans applauded it as a way to cut the deficit and the plan made ryan very popular with the tea party. democrats say the cuts in his plan were too steep, especially to medicare. political observers say now that ryan and his budget ideas are part of the romney ticket, the obama campaign will probably try to emphasize ryan's budget in campaign ads and on the campaign trail, hoping voters will find his ideas unpopular. at his acceptance speech earlier today, ryan didn't say anything specific about balancing the budget through spending cuts, but he spoke in more general terms and also used a quote from his late father to criticize his opponent. >> son, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution. well, regrettably, president obama has become part of the problem and mitt romney is the solution. >> reporter: now, according to one national poll, only about 38% of voters nationwide know who congressman paul ryan is. we went to park street in alameda to get reaction from voters about this new vice presidential candidate. >> i don't know if i have much of an opinion on him. never heard of him. >> first impression, he seems like, you know, an intelligent candidate. i'm just more questioning in terms of how it's going to impact the middle class. >> romney's sort of flip-floppy. ryan might be a big influence and we just can't stand that kind of polarization, i don't think. >> reporter: california's state gop chair tom dell vicaro sent out a statement, saying, quote, for two years, our nation's dealt with undelivered promises and irresponsible spending. paul ryan's expertise on fiscal issues and our nation's out of control debt are what we need to move our nation forward. while democrats think ryan's budget plan in the past could be a liability in this campaign, republicans, lot of republicans certainly think this will strengthen romney's chances. live
