From the 60 minutes interview:

Bob Schieffer: What will be Congressman Ryan’s role if indeed you are elected and he is vice president? Will you send him up to the Hill? Will you put him in charge of certain things?

Mitt Romney: Well, I anticipate that there will be certain areas that are his areas of expertise and he has passion and concern there. That he’ll actually take a lead role in helping oversee those areas and maybe some cabinet officers who will work primarily with the vice president. But he would also have a role in helping shepherd legislation on the Hill. Of course, you have a legislative affairs director that takes that kind of lead as well, but you can’t imagine having someone like Paul Ryan, who’s been able to work with Democrat senators, Democrat members of the House as well as Republicans, been able to make things happen there. I can’t imagine not using him. And to have his skill in finding those people that can come together and find common ground, despite differing views on issues. This is one of the key reasons I’ve selected him. Is that he has that unusual, almost a unique capacity to find people of different parties who are of a common purpose that can come together to do something that’s right for the county.

I guess that should have been:
“Paul Ryan, who’s been able to work with Democrat senators, Democrat members of the House as well as Republicans, been able to make [two] things happen there.”
