Official Vice Presidential Debate thread!

commentators bringing up the "jobs report"

but Ryan brought up the 10% unemployment in Bidens home town. yet those people really need to have equal opportunity

WE WILL LEAVE IN 2014. Bidens words.

They're on track with their Gitmo plans....

I thought Ryan was very professional about it and was very good at delivering his points and plans properly.

Set it out, step 1,2,3. while Joe was too busy trying to discredit.

As I believe this years election is all based around, that Obama/Biden have never set forth a plan as the congressman mentioned, "how do you get a plan from a speech?"

There isnt one...

[Bailey Guns]

Ryan didn't suck. He stuck to the Romney/Ryan plan and articulated it well.

Biden? I'm gonna disagree with most of you. I think he did well. Surprisingly well. Not because anything he said was true of his administration but because he said very well what liberals want to hear. True or not that plays well with his/Obama's base. Yes, he was annoying, condescending and smug to anyone who cared to look objectively...but his base isn't interested in that.

So, from that perspective, Biden did much better than I thought he would and I seriously under-estimated his ability.

Ryan was pragmatic and stuck to specifics and facts.

But I think this one was much closer than the Romney/Obama debate.

Maybe I have a future?

I'd put you there!

Great closing statement Ryan! Great! Yes, uniquely qualified to get the job done!

[sniper7]

Biden said to the camera "who do you trust"? multiple times....

I don't trust any of them honestly, but I believe more of Romney/Ryan than I do Obama/Biden....already saw 4 years of their BS.

[sniper7]

They're on track with their Gitmo plans....

True True

His words, not mine

[JoeT]

for giggles you should check out DU and see their opinion on how joe schooled the little punk kid

Yep, he definitely was very aggressive, he tried to look like the guy speaking to the middle class, tried to make up for Obama, did a pretty good job without Bidenisms, only a couple.

Ryan wasn't offensive enough, he made a couple good jabs and a crack shot about Bidenisms.

Democrats saying Biden had the energy that obama lacked...wait...who is running for president?

Republicans saying Biden was unhinged, wouldn't let Ryan speak and knew he was losing and looked upset on camera.
