Examining Congressman Ryan’s arguments, it was a clear victory, hopefully independents see it this way. Biden, supposedly Vice President of the United States, should be civil, reserved, articulate, intelligent, and a myriad of other traits, but he acted a fool and a complete ass. Personally, I was embarrassed to have the Vice President of my country, acting like that given the dire situation our nation is in. As far as Radditz is concerned, she did a lousy job, but what would one expect seeing as though she's in bed with Obozo the liar.

This deabate was a piece with the First debate and here is my analysis:

The opponents of this administration are high energy, earnest people who understand that we have serious problems that must be faced and solved. They are very serious problems some of which will outlast two terms if they are able to do a good job in the first terms.

On the incumbent side we have two people who are simply not serious about the job that needs to be done and are just cruising along with the flow, collecting their checks.

I think that on the their side it was a terrible debate. On our side, Paul did a great job and won the converstion.

I suspect that there will be a bump from this debate for Romney/Ryan.

Best line of the article “having an argument with a loud drunk”!

[Slump Tester]

"... she failed at what I regard as Job One of a moderator, which is to prevent interruptions from letting the candidates talk."

The bitch herself interrupted Ryan several times.

He was trying to make his point and she would interrupt with questions or statements. If I were Ryan, I would have stopped her a couple times and asked "Wait a minute - which one of you am I debating?"

The wild card, as always, is undecided voters.

It won't matter what they think of Paul Ryan. The objective undecided voter who watched the debate for answers is going to see exactly what everyone else so-a pityful performance by the VP.

Ryan’s job was to look and sound presidential, which of course is hard to do sitting down and also hard to do when you are in the equivalent of an argument with a loud drunk at a bar.

EXCELLENT summary

Now, what will Romney do when Obama repeatedly interrupts and cuts him off and uses facial and body language to show disrespect while Mitt is speaking? This is the liberal version of being alpha dog.

The most valuable thing I’ve gotten from these debates is seeing our executive branch as they really are, unmasked and completely exposed.

Is anyone really surprised by the totally unengaged, unprofessional doofi we have “leading” our country?

I can see November from here...

[Cronos]

I don't think there will be bump from this debate. The MSM are going all out to say "this is a win" -- and CNN was also saying "In the past, a VP debate has not amounted to much, BUT in this case..." and huff is talking of "our guy got back"

This was playing to the loud-mouthed dim base and they won.

I mostly listened, and didn’t see Biden’s behavior until afterward. My impression at first was that Ryan was doing poorly & needed to stand up for himself. By the end, my impression was that only one person there was an adult.

Having viewed some of the debate now, my impression is that if Biden thinks it is funny that work is hard to find & gas prices have doubled & that food prices are thru the roof ($5/lb hamburger yesterday!)...then lots of folks aren’t laughing with him.

It reinforced my conclusion last night - only one person there was an adult and bothered to show up sober.

[longtermmemmory]

Biden was there to hold the line by any means needed.

Being rude, laughing, mistrepresenting was all part of the program to save Obama.

Paul Ryan should have stopped and said “I would like to remind my colleague here, that these topics are very serious and people are hurting and his smirking, laughing and huffing at things because you disagree with me do not make you more right. It makes this discussion less serious and if that’s your goal, that’s on you. Im here to explain to the American people I am a serious person who takes these topics seriously”
