My opinion- Joe kicked ***. This at 31 minutes into the debates.

Ryan has had this stressed look on his face - time into the debate 0040
Perhaps a bowel movement is needed.

Ryan- Heres the problem- You got that stressed look on you face -. Ya know that phony smile, he came in with it, still has it - more Fibre - . That look where you just want to reach across the table and ---- well I will leave that for now.

Ryan -On Medicare - The benefits will not raise as quick for people like himself- He is a millionaire. Guess he needs his entitlements. Pay the pool boy he needs.

Joe is kicking *** on Tax Cuts.

Abortion- Ryan- Only in rape, Incest and life of the Mother- translation- Overturn Roe V Wade.


Waiting for the pundits- What will they have to say. 1`4 more minutes.

Abortion-Ryan- Rape, Incest and life of the Mother- translation- Overturning Roe V Wade.

Yes - Joe is butting in a tad- That is Joe.

And I would not trust either one, but Ryan less.

Ryan - Slamming Obama on Syria- But agree with what they are doing.

Ryan on working together- Bipartisan -He wants to work together- Where was he for the past few years.

Ryan - CBO Trashed his numbers. But he is a believer. Oh yeah

Syria- Russia has a Veto- Blaming Obama for that is BS- What Ryan and Romney would do differently is....

Abortion- Ryan- Rape Incest and life of the Mother- Overturning Roe V Wade.

Not really- Ryan is not performing well.
He thinks that it was going to be a walk over- - They are both at each other.

Without knowing much about either person in the VP debate, and
without a vested interest in it....I've come to the following conclusion.

Ryan come across as polite, and try'n to state things that he rarely
gets to explain as he's continually cut off by Joe.

Joe comes across to me as a loudmouth arrogant blowhard with
little to no manners.

Just the way I'm seeing it so far. Ryan comes across as someone
I wouldn't mind sitting down with over a coffee or a beer, and Joe
would be the guy I get up and walk away from once he started being
an ****.

I'll have to check it out. Ive never watched a VP debate. I figured this one would be particularly dull given who the candidates are. Interesting to see most think it was exciting.

I think you figured right, it was dull. I agree with Ron's assessment, Biden kept distracting Ryans time, with a goofy fake mocking laugh and by outright interruptions.

I would give the win to Ryan but not by a blowout.

Fact checking by Biden on the Romney plans- Facts that Ryan played loose with - Ryan on Abortion - Never stated he would make it illegal- but would remove it from Judges-
Should be up to elected officials -

I'm not touching on the politics of either man here, but I'm watching CNN,
and they've counted the times that Biden interupted Ryan in this debate,
and it was 82 times.

That was from a Republican.

Biden was on his heels a lot of the debate. His 'chuckling' was a sure sign of nervousness and a lot of highly unprofessional interruptions.

That said, he was light years better than Obama

Yeah, I know. Couldn't help it. So you're say'n CNN is Republican?
If that's true, does that change the count of Biden interupting Ryan?

Nope- CNN is basically Conservative- I understood the person that stated the count at 82 was a Republican during a short interview.
I was out of the room but listening.

From reading the responses to the C.B.C. report, I'd say the Dems gained back a couple of points tonight. (For what it's worth)

I didn't watch the debate, but from what I saw on the news, Biden is a jack___ , constantly interrupting Ryan. Not exactly my idea of a 'debate'. Either way, I’ll be glad when the U.S. election is over.

That's all I saw too.

Both repeated party talking points.

Biden almost sounded like he'd had a few drinks early on.

Joe Biden was not fooling around tonight. The vice president brought the smack-down to the VP debate in Kentucky and put Congressman Paul Ryan squarely on the defensive. While some outlets are calling tonight’s display a draw, or even a Paul Ryan win, to Democrats it reads loud and clear that Biden brought all that was missing from Obama’s performance last week: passion, vigor, and vision. Biden hit the debate floor without a moment of hesitation; Ryan came in looking like exactly what he is, a newbie.

Already, eager internet searchers are wondering what happened to the polls over this 90-minute battle. Did Biden win the hearts of the waffling independents or did he, as Nicholas Kristof tweeted, make those “middle of-the-road voters” cry rude.

Prior to the debate, CNN polling showed that despite Biden’s experience-edge, CNN polling showed that 55% of respondents expected Ryan to win the debate. After the 90-minute showdown it definitely feels like those respondents were wrong, though polling numbers are surprisingly calling this a much closer battle.

The debate show-cased an extreme difference in ideology between the two candidates on issues ranging from foreign policy to abortion. If viewers were looking for a clear choice between party platforms, they were given one tonight. Peter Baker of the New York Times tweeted, “Suspect this will be remembered as the Biden debate – either you loved his feistiness or hated his dismissiveness but it’s all about Joe.”

As the poll numbers trickle in from the evening, it is clear that some viewers were off put by that Biden feist. CNBC is reporting that Ryan crushes Biden by 20 points; 56% believed Ryan won to Biden's 36%.

If these numbers are accurate, then the evening might not be the game changer that immediate social media reactions made it seem to be.



more: Vice President Debate poll numbers are in. RYAN beat Biden in all 4 polls(CNN, NBC, CNBC, and a Danville newspaper) Is Ryan's win and Biden's rude behavior during the debate more bad news for Obama?

Vice President Joe Biden and Paul Ryan square off in Thursday night's debate.


Whether you'd call it a smirk, a smile, a gentle curve of the mouth, a chuckle or a full-blown laugh, Vice President Biden appeared to be doing a lot of it during Thursday night's campaign debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, and people noticed.

No matter whether the two contenders sparred over borrowing from China, Medicare, unemployment in Scranton, Pa., or the economy during Thursday night's campaign debate, Biden often appeared to grin.

The Twitterverse responded.

About 20 minutes into the debate, a Twitter account called @LaughinJoeBiden emerged, spotlighting a photo of the vice president showing his teeth, and the account occasionally sent out images of Biden in various stages of smiling during the verbal contest. Tweets took on a general theme: "heh," "looooooooool," "lolollllolll," and the succinct "." After the debate, the account had more than 7,500 followers.

The polls seem to differ. Some sat that Biden won by a big margin, while others say that Ryan eked out a victory.
I lean left, but I'll admit that Ryan's general demeanor was more respectful, and courteous.

When I first turned it on, I heard Ryan talking about funding a 20% tax cut across the board by eliminating loopholes, and I understood why Biden was laughing. But then he continued to laugh throughout the debate at everything Ryan said, and I felt he went a bit overboard on it.

He should have only laughed/mocked a couple key areas to make it seem genuine. The overuse of it, made it feel like a gimmick.

From a strictly getting Obama elected perspective, Biden's strategy was deliberate. Biden doesn't have to be liked. That's Obama's job. VP's are supposed to throw dirt and act like a bully. Mission accomplished.

Biden's manufactured smile and laugh were probably practiced for hours during debate prep in front of focus groups.

That's usually the way it works, the ones who say Biden wins would be Democrats and the ones who say Ryan won would be Republicans. That's one of the problems with people who align themselves with a party...............can't believe a God damned thing they say.

There's an example that clinches the point I just made.

The moderator screwed up about 30 minutes into the debate and not only allowed Biden to interrupt, but encouraged Biden to interrupt. From that point on, the moderator lost control. Biden took advantage first and more often than Ryan. But they interrupted each other.. just not to the same degree.... proving Biden was the alpha male.

50 minutes into the debate the moderator had become more or less passive... What was her purpose again?

I suspect Biden/Obama will get a bump even if a majority believe Ryan won the debate.

Ryan also stated (near the end of the debate) that not increasing taxes like Obama wants to do to the middle income earners was not equivalent to a cut.

Biden had very little to say on what Obama had actually accomplished in 4 years of running the gvt

The smirks and chuckles really seemed to indicate (to me) that Biden was nervous

You must have missed Biden's references to killing OBL, pulling out of Iraq, turning the economy around....
