The kids with whom I was watchin g the debate, were so confused at Ryan’s non confrontational manner on this.

That’s easy, though. The debate is not the time and place for it.

I didn't expect Ryan to confront Biteme on his behavior but I did expect him to look at the audience and either wink or groan or smirk. Some facial expression to let them know he thought Biteme was making a fool out of himself. Maybe make that little sign where you twirl your finger around on the side of your head and cross your eyes when you think someone is crazy. Yeah, that would have been disrespectful but Biteme deserved it!

This wasthe only part of the debate where I was disappointed with Ryan. The only thing that I can offer is that perhaps he was tired by then because it was so near to the end of the debate. I have heard Ryan proclaim the rights of the unborn much more vigorously on ohr occasions. I figure that he was worn down by Joe's antics by then and eager to get to his closing statement, which was very strong.
