Ryan: '47 Percent' Comment Made by 'Obviously Inarticulate' Romney

(RENO, Nev.) -- As the fallout continues from the airing of Mitt Romney's controversial 47 percent comment, his campaign continues to operate in damage control mode, including Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Ryan jumped into the fray Tuesday night, telling local news affiliates in the swing states of Nevada, New Hampshire and Virginia that Romney was "obviously inarticulate," but that the underlying theme of the Florida comments was sound.

"The point we're trying to make here is under the Obama economy government dependency is up and economic stagnation is up, and what we're trying to achieve is getting people off of government dependency and back to a job that pays well and gets them onto a path of prosperity," Ryan said during an interview with Joe Hart, from Reno's KRNV.
