JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) ? Mitt Romney's No. 2 has a safety net in case the GOP presidential ticket doesn't win the White House.
Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan also is on the ballot seeking another term as a Wisconsin congressman.
Filming for Ryan's re-election commercials finished a few days before Romney introduced the Wisconsin congressman as his running mate, and the ads will air this fall as planned.
Wisconsin law allows Ryan to seek both offices at once. He usually wins by comfortable margins, but his district tilts Democratic in presidential races and, this year, Ryan won't have the luxury of much time back home.
"I'm already on the ballot. You can't even go off the ballot," he told CBS's "60 Minutes."
Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District stretches from the shores of Lake Michigan through industrial zones, bedroom communities and farm fields until it reaches Ryan's hometown of Janesville to the west. Republicans have filled the seat since 1995, with Ryan serving the area for all but four of those years. But Democrats ? and even a Progressive Party member ? have held it over the years, including former Clinton administration Defense Secretary Les Aspin.
Democrats would need to convert more than two dozen seats to retake the majority in Congress. So far there's little indication they will put extra effort into toppling Ryan, the House Budget chairman. Throughout his career, Ryan has far outperformed the top of his party's ticket, including in 2008 when President Barack Obama narrowly won a district that Ryan racked up 64 percent of the vote.
Ryan's opponent back home is Rob Zerban, a former Kenosha County board member and catering company owner. At last report, Ryan's $5.4 million campaign stockpile was 10 times bigger than what Zerban had at his disposal.
But Zerban argues that he can benefit from the heightened scrutiny Ryan will be under as a national candidate.
"He's now on a national stage. This budget is going to receive such scrutiny that people as they find out more and more about it, they're going to reject it wholeheartedly," Zerban said.
Retired purchasing manager Jon Flora, 68, of Janesville, said it doesn't bother him if Ryan puts less energy into running for Congress. His wife, Vicki, a retired banker, chimed in that she doubts it will matter anyway.
"He's untouchable," she said. "You've got to like him even if you don't want to."
Airline pilot John Catlin, 48, lamented that Ryan running for vice president would rob the district of a powerful voice in Congress. He said a double run could leave people confused.
"A lot of people will be wondering which office he's really trying to get," Catlin said. "Do you vote for him twice?"
Four years ago, Vice President Joe Biden found himself in the same spot. He was Obama's vice presidential selection, as well as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Delaware.
Christine O'Donnell, Biden's Republican opponent that year, made a stink about the incumbent "blowing off the people of Delaware." He skipped every forum for candidates for statewide office and sent surrogates to read prepared statements.
It didn't hurt him a bit: Biden won with almost 65 percent of the vote ? his largest win margin in seven races. He never served a day of the term, resigning to assume the vice presidency.
In 2000, Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman easily won a new Senate term while he was the running mate of unsuccessful presidential nominee Al Gore.
Back in Wisconsin, Ryan campaign manager Kevin Seifert said his team knew Romney could tap the congressman when they developed their game plan. Ryan spent his summer as he normally does, hitting local parades and holding town halls.
"Voters know Paul very well. That's not going to change in the fall because he hasn't been here," Seifert said.
Bumper stickers and stacks of signature green "Ryan for Congress" are ready for distribution. At his campaign headquarters last week, a handful of workers carried on last week with typical campaign tasks. During a brief Wisconsin homecoming, Ryan met privately with a few dozen family and staff members to thank them for their efforts and to urge them on.
In the days before Romney made his choice public, Ryan crammed in ad shoots at various spots around town featuring supporters and testing out lines he would use in his debut remarks as a vice presidential candidate.
Supporter Cheryl Gray, a former furniture store owner who appears in some scenes, grew suspicious when a Sunday shoot was suddenly canceled. That was when Ryan secretly traveled east to meet with Romney and his vetting team. The filming resumed Monday and Tuesday and when Gray asked Ryan if he'd be joining Romney on a swing state bus tour, she said he played coy.
"He was kind of taken aback," Gray said. "He really did not let on."

Civil engineering professor Becerik-Gerber marks the sixth TR35 honor in 4 years for the USC Viterbi School of Engineering
MIT's Technology Review has recognized Burcin Becerik-Gerber of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering as one of the world's top 35 innovators under the age of 35, it was announced today. As an honoree on the magazine's 2012 TR35 list, Becerik-Gerber joins 34 other innovators spanning the fields of energy, biotechnology, nanotechnology, the Web, computer and electronics hardware and software, and other emerging disciplines.
An assistant professor in USC's Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, she marks the sixth TR35 distinction for USC Viterbi in the last four years.
With a background in both civil engineering and architecture, Becerik-Gerber seeks to reduce building energy consumption and increase occupant comfort through solutions that discover and learn the behavior of building occupants as well as the behavior of the building and its systems and devices. Her work builds on new sensor modalities, social and mobile computing, and artificial and enabling technologies that create new forms of interactive, responsive, adaptive and sustainable experiences and buildings.
With degrees from Istanbul Technical University, the University of California at Berkeley, and Harvard University, Becerik-Gerber has worked as a construction manager, a technologist, an architect, and a professor.
"Being both an architect and an engineer, Burcin perfectly understands both the context and the physics of buildings and uses this powerful platform to innovate," said USC Viterbi Dean Yannis C. Yortsos. "We are very proud of her distinction."
"Burcin envisions an unprecedented 'new world' of fully integrated human-building systems, where intelligence coordinates occupant's behavior, energy usage and elicits optimal building responses. She has taken her ideas for an energy aware society to the lab and began to invent, and implement her vision for a hyper dynamic and learned energy aware society," said Dr. Lucio Soibelman, Chair of USC's Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Becerik-Gerber's mentor.
TR35 honorees are selected by a panel of expert judges and the editorial staff of Technology Review, who this year evaluated more than 250 nominations. On October 24-26 of this year, Becerik-Gerber will join other TR35 honorees in discussing their achievements at the EmTech MIT 2012 conference, taking place at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Mass. All of the TR35 winners for 2012 will be featured the September/October issue of Technology Review and online at www.technologyreview.com/tr35/.
"This year's TR35 recipients are applying technology to some our generation's greatest challenges, and innovating to improve the way we live and work," said Jason Pontin, editor-in-chief and publisher of Technology Review. "We look forward to watching these young technology leaders grow and advance over the coming years."

Filmmakers and fans were in shock Monday after learning that Tony Scott, director of action thrillers "Top Gun" and "Days of Thunder," had jumped to his death from a California bridge.
Police and the US Coast Guard pulled Scott's body out of the water near the Vincent Thomas Bridge over Los Angeles Harbor on Sunday, the coroner's office said, adding that an autopsy had not yet been performed.
ABC News reported that Scott had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, but the coroner's office told AFP it was too early in the investigation to confirm the report.
Investigators found a suicide note in his office, the Los Angeles Times reported. Its contents have not been revealed.
A witness saw Scott, 68, climb over a fence on the bridge and jump into the water, according to Lieutenant Joseph Bale of the city coroner's office. Other witnesses said they later saw Scott's shoes floating in the water.
Authorities summoned divers and a helicopter in a bid to find Scott's body in the port's murky waters and recovered it at approximately 3:00 pm (2200 GMT), four hours after he jumped, Bale said.
Scott was the younger brother of fellow film director Ridley Scott, the maker of Oscar-winning movies like "Gladiator" and "Black Hawk Down" as well as other hits like "Blade Runner."
The family has confirmed Scott's death, but offered no further details.
"I can confirm that Tony Scott has indeed passed away," the late director's spokeswoman, Katherine Rowe, told reporters. "The family asks that their privacy be respected at this time."
Scott, who was born in Britain in 1944, made his mark in the mid-1980s when he directed "Top Gun," an action-filled blockbuster about elite navy pilots featuring then-rising star Tom Cruise.
It was one of the highest-grossing films of 1986, taking in more than $176 million and giving a major boost to Scott's and Cruise's careers. It also won an Academy Award for best original song, "Take My Breath Away."
The British filmmaker sought out Cruise again in 1990 when he started working on "Days of Thunder," another thriller exposing the rough-and-tumble world of NASCAR stock car racing.
He believed the actor's youthful charm, optimism and never-ending energy would guarantee success.
"Tom can sit behind the wheel of a race car and smoke a cigarette and this movie will make a fortune," Scott was quoted as saying at the time.
He did not miss the mark.
The film was criticized for excessive and sometimes over-the-top use of special effects, but it did well at the box office, grossing nearly $158 million.
Besides "Top Gun" and "Days of Thunder," Scott directed "Enemy of the State," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Spy Game," "Unstoppable" and "Crimson Tide," a submarine thriller starring Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington.
Hollywood stars paid tribute to Scott on the micro-blogging website Twitter Monday, with Val Kilmer, who co-starred in "Top Gun," calling him "the kindest film director I ever worked for."
"No more Tony Scott movies. Tragic day," tweeted director Ron Howard.
Scott started his career under his brother's patronage in the early 1970s and directed thousands of television commercials for his brother's company Ridley Scott Associates.
A prolific filmmaker, Scott had more that 30 new projects in the pipeline, including "Top Gun 2," a sequel to the original movie, where Tom Cruise was again expected to play the lead role.
Scott was married to his third wife, actress Donna Scott. The couple had twin sons.
