Mitt Romney has named Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate, making Medicare and social security major issues in the upcoming presidential campaigns. Joy Cardin's guest reacts to the annoucement, and discusses a recent AARP survey on baby boomers' top concerns this election year and what they'd like the candidates to focus on.
Then, it's our Monday Morning Wake-Up Call. Despite the drought in Wisconsin, last week's rain has produced the state's highest mold counts in over a decade. Joy Cardin's guest discusses why this is and how the mold is aggravating allergies across Wisconsin.
Guest: Sam Wilson, Wisconsin State Director for the AARP
