Before the debate, Romney demanded that during the debate Martha Raddaz was not to use Congressman Ryan's title and should substitute "Mr." for "Congressman". Does the Romney campaign think the American public is so stupid they don't realize that Paul Ryan is part of the unpopular congress? What was the point of this stipulation?
The respectful gentleman the Vice President is, he addressed Paul Ryan as "Congressman." But the Congressman repeatedly addressed the Vice President as, "Joe." At least that's what I believe I kept hearing. It was an immature performance by the Congressman.

Not only do I not believe a word you just said, but you don't either...
All candidates should be forbidden from saying "My friend". It was obnoxious with McCain and even more obnoxious with Biden.
While it was polite, I agree with your sentiment that the "My friend" was overdone. It's how Biden almost always addresses people in similar situations, but ...
