Ryan and Ted Olson... the man that beat gore in the SCOTUS... have been doing a little planning of their own.

“Schenectady”! “Apple pie”!

[kjam22]

He should bring in an empty chair and sit it there. Tell Biden he’ll need help

[rodguy911]

Priceless!

Ryan has to immediately throw Biden off by launching into facts and figures. Swamp doofus with so much information, he forgets his one-liners.

“Come On Man” earns a full 3 shots.

LOL!!!

[Taffini]

speaking of apple pie, I should NOT have gone to the store before this debate....

[Biggirl]

Are you ready for a VP “rumble?”

[samtheman]

I like the countdown clock.

Perfect.

Red can you take the two pictures Maggie just post and make a poster that says : YOU CHOOSE!?

[glock rocks]

I agree. A good mix is essential. Thanks!

Because I’m a chronic pessimist, I’ll predict that tonight’s debate will be a middling performance that won’t end up changing much. If Barack Obama can’t get his campaign back on track, then Joe Biden isn’t going to help him. I’m not certain that Paul Ryan has what it takes to deliver a truly outstanding performance a la Romney.

I hope I’m pleasantly surprised. I know that I won’t be disappointed.

[bronxville]

Can we all say a wee prayer together for the opening...

[madison10]

I should have. My popcorn is already gone and now I’m thirsty for grape juice. Lots of grape juice. Those are comfort foods. Maybe I could make a quick apple crisp.

Count down time.

CSPAN is great for unfiltered events.

[hole_n_one]

Very small table they'll be sitting at.

No one in the middle

Just kicked my daughter off X-Factor barf. Rest of TVs are piled up in the back yard, full of bullet holes...

[Sarah Barracuda]
