The One and Only Vice Presidential Debate 10/11/12 (ethics, vote, Reagan)

[Harrier]

LOL@ the desperate liberals pretending that Biden won the debate.

Ryan showed exactly why he should be our Vice President - he was professional, knowledgeble, calm, and decisive.

Biden was simply a joke.

With the football game and the MLB playoffs I doubt many were watching. Nobody cares about the VP. I will have to watch a replay if I choose to. Hopefully Biden made a fool out of himself here and there because that's about all worth watching in a VP debate. Now you go on claiming he won and the repblicans will claim Ryan won and nobody will really care.

Okay, so all of the networks are now calling this a draw. Can we just all agree this debate, while interesting for political junkies to watch, didn't change a darn thing?

Ryan was countered and checked on each point.

Biden was prepared and waiting to counter Ryan on each point and didn't relent until the Moderator signaled.

I am actually a libertarian, with the way Biden was acting tonight there is no way I want him as the Vice president.

Can't rep you again Snake, but spot on description of Biden's behavior!

If there is one, it will be because of the talking points which come out after the debate, not the debate directly.

Ryan looked like a car stuck by a train.

...and Ryan was so lost on Afghanistan that he might as well have been lost in Afghanistan. In all fairness, Biden is a guy with many years of foreign policy experience as compared to Ryan who has just got finished with a crash course.

I find it funny that republicans are only attacking Biden on his rude behavior. Nothing else was critized so far, making Biden the clear winner even if he was a bit rude.

Ryan did say they couldn't talk much about that because of state secrets. BUT Bidden blamed the mistakes in Libya on the security people which is a lie.

Biden schooled your boy Ryan. Republicans here are a joke!
