Ryan will campaign in Lima, Ohio on Monday, and continue on to Cincinnati on Tuesday, according to the campaign
Romney will hold an event in Dayton on Tuesday, then three events - Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo - on Wednesday.
Romney has kept a light schedule, holding just two public rallies in the past five days.
Some Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, have called on Romney to campaign more aggressively in swing states.
"I think what Romney needs to do is get into Virginia and run for sheriff. This is not rocket science," Graham said Wednesday.

Is he actually going to ride on the icky bus, or is he going the Sarah Palin route – – flying from place to place in comfort and jumping on the bus in the parking lot of the bed & breakfast and then 'exiting' the bus at the event?

How about Romney driving his Tour Bus and campaign off a ramp? Now that would be something......
Mitt its over. Give it up a go home. Question. Why is Lyin Ryan campaigning in Wisconsin for his seat in Congress?
hmmmm
No one is going to listen to or trust anything Romney has to say anymore. We had finally heard the true Romney.He cares nothing about the American people. He only wants to be President for the power. He does not want the true job of the President where you take an oath to serve and protect the People and our Constitution. Romney is a corporate puppet who has huge debts to pay back to his corporate Super Pacs so We the People will get NO help, NO jobs, and have every program from Medicare to Social Security to education to welfare for the poor GONE. Romney is no President. I stand with President Obama who has proven he is a true leader with values he lives and with the care he show towards ALL of us.
I might vote for Romney if he and Ryan drive the weenier Mobile !
If it wasn't for the drought, there would be many American's throwing eggs and tomatoes at the bus as it strolled by for his 47% comment.
Why is Mitt AFRAID to go to Ohio by himself? He didn`t take the MarathonMan [Ryan lied about his time to complete one] with him to Florida or Utah, but whenever he goes into blue collar, auto country, Romney leans on Ryan for support. Why is that?
One out of two truths even on the bus. The twit is NOT conservative and he has shown time and again that he is NOT a leader!
Yup your typical Americans flying areound in a $750,000 bus full of hypocrisy! Lyin Ryan , Mitt and the tax paid dancing horse et al. What a 2% joke.
Yeah, Mitt's "bus tour" is starting to look as funny as Palin's bus tour.
47% we don't need–we need only top 1% that too if they are very very rich.
Nice bus, is that the one we paid for? Being a hypocrite aint easy. 47% of that bus wont work for him.
