Excellent point!

Who needs Secret Service when you've got Biden a heartbeat away!

Indeed.

Of course it was rehearsed. No one expects him to come up with something on the fly. However, what he said reminded me of the sort of speech people would give in high school. It came off like he was dispassionately reading a piece of paper. It was probably the low point of his debate performance.

How could Biden have kicked his butt when he also voted for both unpaid wars.

Nervous laughter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nervous laughter[2] is laughter evoked from an audience's expression of embarrassment, alarm, discomfort or confusion, rather than amusement. Nervous laughter is usually less robust in expression than "a good belly laugh", and may be combined with confused glances or awkward silence on the part of others in the audience. Nervous laughter is considered analogous to a courtesy laugh,[3] which may be rendered by more of a conscious effort in an attempt to move a situation along more quickly, especially when the comedian is pausing for laughter.

I give it to Ryan on substance and seriousness. No one could like Biden and his choppers always laughing and him always interrupting. Then he complains to his partner, the moderator, about not getting enough time. Biden's closing was pathetic. "It is going to okay honey". Are you kidding me? Ryan was clear and concise in his closing. He and Romney have a plan, they won't blame everyone for four years. "We are asking for your vote" Professional. presidential.

The only one that lied was Ryan. He backed being anti-abortion in all cases, even rape in incest just months ago, now says he supports it in cases of rape and incest.

4 Supreme Court Justices are in their 70's. The next President will likely appoint one or two replacements for those (probably all 4 if it's Romney and he ends up with 2 terms) and once that happens all that needs occur is for the Far Right to challenge the law so that it DOES work it's way up to the Supreme Court - you know that as well as I do - so don't play dumb.

Basically Ryan recycled the party line and Biden called him out on each bull**** point. Let's not over-analyze it.

Apparently you just want to "play dumb" - that's fine. It's not fooling ANYONE.
