Despite a much-lauded campaign mobile app designed to break the news of Romney for America's choice for vice president, news of the campaign's decision broke on Twitter hours before a formal announcement.

By 10-11pm EST, major news outlets were reporting of Gov. Romney's imminent announcement of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee.

The Mitt Romney campaign will announce their choice for Vice President tomorrow morning, says campaign spokespeople.

Gov. Romney will announce his pick at a campaign stop in Norfolk, Virginia tomorrow at 9am.

CNN reports Romney called Republicans on the short list late Friday evening, but did not disclose his final decision.

Stay tuned, IVN will be covering the VP pick announcement and campaign ramifications as news comes in.
