Biden is moping the floor with him. Incidentally my policy wonk husband pointed out that the Dems did NOT have control of both houses. The Minnesota senate election was not decided until June and then Scott Brown was elected in MA. ---

You have to hand it to Paul Ryan for being able to recite his stump speech while bent over and being Joe Biden’s bitch. ---

Ryan: “If you don’t have a record to run on, make your opponent someone to run from.” Great description of what you yourself are doing there, Pauly boy. ---

Hmm, could have sworn AARP recently disavowed Obamacare, Joe. I like the moderator. Lets Biden interrupt at will and at length, then when Ryan tries to rebut she buts in and changes the subject. This Charlie Rose round table debate is a joke. ---
