Heh, a little too quick on my part. Romney, Ryan- eh, aren't they related or something?
A lot of people will be looking at this moderator with a jaundiced eye. It'll be interesting to see how she performs.Vice President Biden will be awarded 200 points for correctly spelling his name.
Ryan and Biden meeting and posing for pictures before tonight's debate.
Hmm, while most polls on this site have a definite democrat/liberal skew in respondents, here we have an almost even match.
I know Biden very well from his time as a Senator, he can turn on a lot of charm, though it most often comes off as hokey and fake in person, less so on a TV screen. He was instrumental in destroying Robert Bork's chances for a Supreme Court seat, one of the great travesties of the confirmation process.
I don't know Ryan, but am highly impressed by his personal energy and his grasp of facts and process. He was the go-to guy in Congress on the budget. He is genuinely a nice guy. He was my personal choice for VP before Romney made it official.
I give the nod to Ryan - he will have a better grasp of the facts, will demonstrate natural charm and overcome the likely bluster that is Biden's forte.
It will be an interesting evening.
i'll say biden.
hopefully there'll be lulz for both sides
when will Ryan ever display a grasp of facts? dingelberry doesn't even use them when describing his own policies (See pub convention--his speech was rather historic in containing the most dense concentration of lies--most regarding his own policy!)
look at how I voted: Ryan wins by claiming he will do the exact opposite of what he is very much on record wanting to do.
I get the feeling that you wouldn't recognize the truth even if it was in the form of a Chinook Salmon slapping you across the face! :awe:
Right. A man who builds a reputation being one kind of person and then becomes another is a man we should trust and anybody who disagrees is brain dead.
You're just like Ryan and Magic Pants. You can say anything with a fucking straight face and then add that other folk are entitled to their opinion but not their own facts. You live in an altered reality and you're dangerous.

:wub: Palin!
Ryan has a hilarious way of blatantly lying about who he is and the details of his easily-researched policies.
so, of course he will win in the court of 5-hour attention spans
I've never gotten the impression that Biden was particularly sharp while Ryan at least has the reputation of being a smart guy although it remains to be seen how well that would translate to the debate. Still based on that I have to give Ryan the edge.
I'm surprised so many people seem to think Biden will turn things around and make up for Obama's performance in the first debate. I'm far from an Obama supporter but I'd still admit that he is intelligent and for the most part is good at getting his message across. I can't say the same for Biden.
