I think Biden did well (but he was very obnoxious and rude), but I would give Ryan the edge because he showed composure and didn't snap at Biden (which I would have done). Having said that - I will still not be voting for either one of the major parties.

Lady on tv just summarized it completely

Debate was about the economy, and foreign policies, and no one gave answers..

I agree with this. Ryan was saying some pretty funny stuff to me. I was laughing too in regards to him not knowing what they plan on cutting from the budget and saying that they would have to think about whether they will pull out of Afghanistan next year and how our troops are leaving that country...duh, most Americans want them out of there! It was funny that he thinks most Americans want to stay in Afghanistan and will believe him and Romney that they are going to "close loopholes" only on the wealthy but won't say which loopholes they are going to close. Funny stuff right there IMO.

No one's vote is going to be changed by a VP debate. And there is no way 70 million even watched this. This fires up the liberal base, and also fires up our base due to Bidens rudeness.
I think it is funny you mention Romney had a "decisive victory" as if he went to war or something lol. But Romney was very unprofessional in his debate performance as well. Even so, I think he trampled Obama. Sometimes, actually I'd say most times in debates candidates need to have a bit of unprofessionalism in order to drive their point across. Think of Reagan with his "there you go again" and Gore's rolling of eyes at Bush lol. It shows their humanity IMO and is a breath of fresh air for someone like me who despises stiff suits and talking points.

But you were gleeful watching Hyper-Mitt in action as he bulldozed over the moderator and any fact that got in his way as he did the Gish Gallop two step...weren't you?

While slightly off topic, I must say after watching post debate analysis for this and the previous debate, CNN has shown itself to be the most balanced in their commentary and reporting. I find myself watching CNN more and more after these things.

On the other hand, Ryan showed a calmness, and patient behavior with a gentle smile. Thank GOD, I was not Ryan, if I was in Ryan's shoes, that *******, Biden would have a fist in his mouth. I don't know who won the debate tonight, I haven't checked with all the blog sites, but I do know, with Ryan's calm demeanor, he would win hands down. Who ever actually won, I'm sure the public who watched the debate would agree with me. I would score another 5% gain for Romney/Ryan. Biden just lost it for O'bummer, who we all knew was a loser anyway.

You sound upset. Were you a Romney/Ryan supporter going into the debate?

Perhaps you just do not like seeing your guy lose and no matter what Biden says you wont like him anyways?

VP debates don't matter much.

Your post just sounds like perhaps you're not really qualified to have an objective opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

A disaster is what you get when you submit Romney, a weak flip flopper devoid of ethics for consideration of the Office of President of the United States.

The Republican's selected this loser and want to blame everyone for their weak field. Clearly they're incapable of the judgement necessary for the simple task of candidate selection. What a failed mission this was.

Most Republicans don't like Romney. Holding their nose while whining about Obama...

Romney was the "best" you could do?

Pathetic.

lol...
