Sunday was also a marked shift from last month, when Romney embarked on a weeklong foreign trip marred with mistakes that, by the end, had him appearing strained and distant. About 1,500 waited ? some more than five hours ? in a cavernous warehouse with struggling air conditioning, while 2,000 packed into a cleared-out furniture showroom where the air was sticky and heavy. Thousands more stood behind barriers erected on the street outside ? Romney and Ryan stopped on their way in to give high fives to a few in the cheering crowd. Ryan, 42, even played into Romney's own offbeat sense of humor, participating in an April Fool's joke at the presidential candidate's expense. Ryan's daughter Liza and Romney's granddaughter Chloe hugged each other on stage in Manassas, Va., at one point standing with arms around each other holding matching "Romney-Ryan" placards. Romney's personal aide, Garrett Jackson, posted pictures on Twitter of all the Ryan kids ? Paul and Janna have two sons, Sam and Charlie ? and two Romney granddaughters, Chloe and Mia, playing together.
