Official Vice Presidential Debate thread!

At the end of the day Biden only makes a good court jester. Goofy great uncle maybe. Kinda scary he having him that close to the presidency.

He's got more experience in government than any of the other 3 guys...probably put together.

If any of the 4 of them had to run the country, he'd be the most qualified.

Palin on FNC right now making some good points, Ryan should have gone after Biden on domestic energy a little harder! Doesn't hurt that she is quite easy on the eyes IMHO.

Best line of the night though:
"When it comes to speaking up for our values, we should never apologize for those!" -Paul Ryan.

No he would be the most senior. Qualified is not a word to describe Biden.

DAVE. WTF you're an alright guy (easy on the eyes) Most of the non pony shit you post fits in.
HOWEVER You need to put the pipe down brudda. You latest shit i've been reading has me believe either one of the left leaning newbies from ft collins or denver hacked your account.

I thought on balance it was a draw. Ryan did very well not getting sucked into Biden's condescending wierdness. At times it seemed the moderator and Biden were both interrupting and challenging Ryan, sort of double-teaming. Moderator only challenged Biden a couple of times.

Biden's use of the "you're no Jack Kennedy" was inappropriate, as Ryan was only using an example of cooperation during the Kennedy years and not trying to channel Kennedy or represent what Kennedy said.

I think Biden opened up a new can of worms on Libya that Beeho probably wants to avoid. He threw the intelligence people under the bus and stated that at no time did the ambassador or others at the embassy ask for more security. The amazing thing about the intelligence is that it was obviously terrorism to anyone watching the news on 9/11 - pretending otherwise is either lying or incredibly stupid.

I do wish Ryan had challenged Biden on more things, but on countless occasions he was cut off by the moderator. For example, when Biden said the one thing you can count on from him is he always means what he says, I wish Ryan had brought up the "put you all in chains" and more recent "middle class has been slammed the last 4 years" comments. Biden brought up Romney's "47%" comment al least 5 times.

I felt Biden had more speaking time during the debate, which turned out to be the case afterward - but was turned off for Biden demanding equal time.

I expect that most undecideds (if they truly are undecided) will be at least partially influenced by Bidens arrogance/interruptions/condescention. Biden's performance will no doubt re-energize the Dem base, tho - which was probably the purpose.
