Well...I think Biden came across as a total a-hole. Fake sincerity, twisted facts - he was smarmy. Unfortunately Ryan’s inexperience showed.
The undecided will appreciate and respect Ryan.
Bullies thrilled that other are bullies. Will see how that plays out with independents.
I wish Ryan would have interrupted more often and corrected him when Joe was a rude ahole, and flat out full of **** but it’s a fine line.
Wow, you’re always so concerned. Didn’t see commenting this much in the Romney debate thread.
The fact is Obama did not look meek and neither does Ryan. Obama looked like he didn’t know wtf was going on and didn’t respond with properly; he fumbled around all debate. Romney did not act like Biden with smirking and laughing when zerO was talking coming across like a dickhead, frankly. You’re not very good at comparisons. You have ignored all the links to the CNN focus group showing they’re not responding well to Biden?
Ryan was civil, informed and polite. Somehow, he managed to keep his cool throughout this entire disgraceful fiasco.
Biden is a belligerent, lying hack with delusions of grandeur. He showed tonight why the campaign keeps him in an undisclosed safe house most of the time. He’s an utterly unlikeable jackass.
It’s frustrating to watch, but Biden isn’t winning anyone over with this rabid performance.
Two hours ago, I didn’t hate Biden.
Now I do.
Agreed, but Ryan had to dance the line a bit.
All in all I score it as a draw. Biden came off as obnoxious with his interruptions, but was more on top of the issues than Obama was in the first debate. I was maddened though by Ryan letting Biden get off with the “the Iranians don’t have a weapon to put the uranium in, and we’d know before they did” rubbish.
Quoting the wikipedia article about Little Boy: “No full test of a gun-type nuclear weapon had occurred before the “Little Boy” device was dropped over Hiroshima.”
Biden’s brilliant intelligence analyses could end with a “test” of an Iranian gun-type bomb over Tel Aviv or in a container ship in the Port of Los Angeles or the East River.
“The president and I will not rest until...(well, he may play a little golf ...attend fundraisers...)”

“. I dont consider laughing or mocking adult or intellectual behavior.”
Saul Alinsky playbook.
That’s how they do it.
Trippi thought Biden’s smirking was overdone and that it probably turned off women.
Really wish I could see the final analysis of the CNN lines...Ryan should have been given another 2 minutes
Even Joe Trippi said Joe’s smirking and laughing was too much...didn’t help him.
I agree. Ryan’s got class, substance and style. All those shenanigans by Biden and Ryan didn’t even flinch. At all.
Joe looked like a complete, condescending loser jerk. Can’t believe he’s VP.
I noticed O’biden didn’t even shake the moderator’s hand. And BTW O’biden’s wife is a hag.
I just got polled by KABC in L.A. I told them Ryan was the clear winner. I live far from L.A.
this is funny! and i am kind of surprised because Patton is liberal...
Britt Hume - smirking, laughing, smiling, mugging was so compelling that people couldn’t take their eyes off them. Thought it was unattractive and rude. Cranky old man debating a polite young man.
