Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan has promised a turnaround for America, in a prime-time speech to the party convention in Tampa, Florida.



The Wisconsin congressman says he and Republican White House nominee Mitt Romney would not duck the tough issues.



Arizona Senator John McCain, who was the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also took to the podium at the convention yesterday.



Romney will challenge Barack Obama for the White House in November.
