Ryan wins Debate

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

It appears even CNN is saying Ryan won. Iwill admit at first when Biden was talking he was doing better than I thought. After he started his Freshman antics and spoiled smirks and I realized he was getting defensive becuse he did not have history and the truth on his side.

How appalling for the VP of the country to act like a bumbling, interrupting, smirking idiot. The polls I saw seemed to indicate that really turned of the American public.

Seemed like a pretty even debate to me. Both sides should be happy with how their candidate did.

Ryan was doing his fair share of interrupting, smirking and eye rolling too.

CNN's polls has it so close (something like 48% to 44%, within the margin of error) so it's a tie, really.

48 to 44 is a tie... ? Ok if my team ever plays for the BCS Championship I would be really happy if the tied. Seriously Ryan was professional, Biden was an un- professional jerk. Seriously I think Biden would have won on substance if he had not acted so badly. That turned a lot of people off.

I guess you missed the margin of error part of my comment.

The interrupting and smiling are things that Romney was praised for during his debate. And things that Ryan even showed himself last night. But if people want to focus on that, that's up to them.

If last night was a story telling debate, Ryan would have won handily. Unfortunately he didn't answer a single direct question. Anecdotes aren't answers.

I was waiting for Ryan to start telling his story about me.

Actually Romney didn't interrupt so much as he kept talking to get his point across. There is a difference.

Ryan presented stats last night at least and did really well on attacking foreign policy early on, especially the current debable in Libya. Biden backpeddled and tried to say otherwise on that subject matter and it's going to hurt him and Obama in the long run.

All Biden did last night was take jabs and kept saying stupid ####### like "Is this what you really want to vote for." (or similar). Oh and of course he made sure he let the people know that he felt he was entitled to their money.

Ryan was guilty of the same thing. But hey, whatever you say.

Ryan ran circles around that doddering old fool. It was kind of like watching a young lion destroy the old but crippled patriarch. Ryan will be President one day.

Ryan avoided answering the questions as asked and gave no clear answers on many of the issues. And you call that a win? Nothing but a circle jerk performance.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

The moderator practically begged Ryan for specifics and he gave none. He had a bunch of stories, but no actual facts. I guess this is considered successful.

Don't lie. Biden was a fool. He laughed his way through the debate.

[spookyturtle 9,466]

well it worked for obama in fall 07

So now we should be smart enough to see that Romney/Ryan is doing the same thing.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

So, you accept that that's what happened. Awesome. A step in the right direction.
