I'm sitting here savoring this column like a great cup of coffee or a fine cigar.

Plugs rhymes with smug.

I figure Obama picked Biden for VP as a form of insurance.

He knows he is safe from the crazies as long as they know Biden is next in line.

Some may argue that Paul Ryan won the debate last night by only a few percentage points. Others may say the debate was a tie. But, psychologically, it was a massive win for the Romney/Ryan ticket, erasing the last unconscious doubt potentially in the way of their victory.

he's right. That's the whole point of a VP debate. We need to know that the other guy on th eticket can be President if needed and Ryan passed that test with flying colors.

Is Joe Biden fit to feed himself?

Paul Ryan exudes confidence, trust and honesty. Butt-in Biden exudes used car salesman.

On a more practical note, imagine Ryan as the next president after Romney.

This would mean it would be important to help Ryan maintain his conservative credentials and ideas while VP.

There are times when Washington seems to be designed to corrupt and water down the philosophical underpinnings and core values of politicians.

If Romney has a successful term or two as POTUS, Ryan may be a shoe-in as his replacement, assuming Republican party leadership perfidy doesn’t take him out. And Ryan may be situated to really get the conservative ball rolling.

I was VERY impressed with Paul Ryan last night.
He knows how to hold his composure. He knows how to be quiet when the opposition is hell bent on making a fool of itself.
He knows when not to stoop below his level.

I saw him as being able to respect President Romney, and working with him.
I saw a young man taking his future position seriously.
I COULD see him taking hold of the reigns should anything happen to the sitting President.

I feel good today. Kinda feels like being born again, again. LOL

The debate wasn’t a realistic test of Ryan’s ability to assume the top spot. If President Ryan was confronted with some hypothetical individual acting like Biden did his secret service detail would wrestle him to the floor, cuff him and haul him off to the mental hospital for observation.

Ablow is one of those docs who actually believes in the concept of good and evil, right and wrong. He does not mince words and calls em as he sees em. I have always enjoyed his thoughts

Thanks for this.

As I stated on another thread today:

Considering that one of these men might, on a moment's notice, be required to sit with the leader of another nation contesting for liberty, every citizen who watched Biden should be seriously concerned.

Actually, in my opinion, there was little difference between Biden's performance and that of Obama, in that both were disrespectful and derisive. One's expression showed a sullen, resentful, petulant attitude. The other displayed an equally appalling disconnect between the seriousness of the discussion and emotional stability and expression.

Both were arrogant and may have underestimated the innate intelligence of millions of citizen/voters of the United States of America and their ability to recognize the difference between bravado and substance of character, respect for others, and seriousness of the challenges to America's liberty.

Wasn’t there a lady at a Ryan event this spring that got up to ask him a question and then got on her knees and asked him to jump into the Presidential fray?
