Krauthammer had the perfect analysis —
Were is this?
Seems to me that if it was a tie, Biden must be seen as the winner.
If at the end of a debate, the side advocating a change in the status quo wins if the opposition doesn’t give enough proof to convince the judges.
If it is a tie, then we don’t make a change and keep Obama in office.
My feeling is that Ryan was clearly superior.
Krauthammer gave it on FOX post-debate. It was a draw in terms of what was said, mainly because Biden had so much more time to spout his garbage, but in my opinion Biden lost because most people SAW the debate. They saw the condescending smirk. It was ugly, and from early reports, Ryan appealed to women much more. Polls seem mixed, but that’s okay. The momentum is in our direction and while the media debate how many factors Biden should ratchet his smile down by, we’ll continue to increase our share of votes.
Dang, meant to say that side advocating a change (GOP in this case) in the status quo LOSES if they don’t provide enough arguments to convince the judges. A draw goes to the side supporting the present system.
