Vice-Presidential Debate Live Commentary Thread

Bushie, most Americans expected Ryan to win this. How is a "draw" (it's not a draw, but believe what you want to) a win for Romney?

Biden is quieter...I think he's punched himself out

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Now I can say Biden has won the debate. Republicans are so far behind the status quo in the social aspect of the country..

No the Republicans are right on the social aspect. Ryan is slaughtering him by simply being level headed and acting like an adult while Biden has been a pompous arrogant jerk the whole night.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

GITTIN' TWELVE MILLION JARBS

The only thing Ryan has going for him is superficial, his looks and voice. Take that away, and he lost badly.

The people who say Ryan won will either be partisan Republicans, or don't care about the issues anyways.

[Keystone Phil]

Did this piece of garbage just complain about not getting enough time? He spent half of the debate interrupting. Unbelievable!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Biden ruined Ryan so hard it's not even funny. LOL at the Republicans thinking it's a "Draw".

I'm a Democrat calling it a draw.

No the Republicans are right on the social aspect.

The problem is: they are also to the right of the median voter on this

Honestly, I think Dems are going to find out that acting like an unhinged lunatic, interrupting every 20 seconds, and acting smug and know-it-all ish doesn't constitute winning a debate

[Lief 🗽]

HONESTY? HAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that's some stuff right there

[Stranger in a strange land]

Tell it like it is Joe!

This debate is a draw.  A draw is a Romney win.  Biden needed to more than make up for Obama's performance and he did in content, but in attitude, he was dismal.  Ryan started off well in content, but leveled off in the last half of the debate, but was decent in attitude.

Joe had a couple extra shots (of espresso or maybe somethin else) in his coffee. Maniac laughing and serious arrogance coming through is not a way to slam dunk win it.

This debate was kind fun. Biden's kind of kicked ass and kept it personal. Ryan has come off weak and boring. Kind of a mirror universe from the debate last week.

Definitely seemed subdued when on stage next to joe. Stayed to talking points and delivered the message of bipartisanship that the Romney camp wants to push these days. So in no way a loss for the repubs.

[Joe Biden 2020]

So, I guess the next thing the Democratic enthusiasts will be saying is that this election is over and there is absolutely zero chance Romney can come back.

[You kip if you want to...]

What looks? He looks like that guy in school who everybody hates. Like a creepier Niles Crane or something.

Worked last week for Willard!

[Beet]

Lost both coin tosses. Come on....

[Eraserhead]

Time to scrape Ryan off of the floor.

[Marokai Backbeat]

"We will not duck the tough issues." Now excuse Ryan while he ducks answering questions about the tough issues.

When two or three more states legalize gay marriage in a month, you may want to examine the direction of our nation's social issues.

"Daddy, I can be Reagan too!"

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Biden won HANDS-DOWN! So now watch The Media claim Ryan won. Mark my words.

[Lief 🗽]

here have some joe biden notes:

[retromike22]

OMG Biden is talking with Ryan's mom!

Biden's stomping Ryan in the "lines" on CNN in regards to abortion.

Should be the other way around.

Well, it isn't for a reason.

Because they are overpolling Democrats. Since 2008 the percentages have been favoring the Pro-Life position.
