Vice Presidential Debate Thread

They were screaming that before the debate.

I see they found the lost Munsters episode “Grandpa Beats Up Eddie”.

This has been a barn burner. Bravo to Biden.

Ryan’s not talking about HIMSELF, which is what the moderator asked. He’s an automaton.

Moderator: “What can you bring to the vice presidency that nobody else can?”

Ryan: “…Honestly?”

Biden bringing it back to the middle class.

Agreed. Could we have these guys for the other two debates instead?

As an Obama supporter, this debate performance makes me feel a little better that the campaign has decided to take debates seriously. But the VP debate just isn’t going to be nearly enough to turn the late trend towards Romney around- not enough people watching, and people don’t care that much about VPs anyway. Obama needs to pick up his game next week and be just as strong as Biden was tonight.

I’m not close to panic, though… Ohio is still strong for Obama, and with OH, he just needs one more state.

Yeah, and I’m not going to vote for the “Violence sucks, so we’ll replace the Department of Defense with the Department of Singing KumBaYa”, either.

Ryan repeating the same talking points in his closing statement.

And here I thought Romney had zero charisma.

I want Biden vs Romney!

“Mitt Romney and I want to earn your support.”

Ryan should learn that he should not attempt to condescend to someone who is so much older and a statesman to boot.

That’s it.

Comedian Nick Kroll: “Paul Ryan looks like if Eddie Munster fucked Howdy Doody.”
Biden fucking killed it, I have to say. Hell, even Martha kicked Ryan’s ass in this debate.

…and that’s all she wrote.

Can we call this one for Biden, then?

Biden won hands down. This was an even bigger rout than his session with Sarah Palin. He was likeable, informed, thoughtful, passionate and presidential. Obama did good when he picked him.

Is Fox saying Ryan won?

Post-debate analysis. On ABC.

By a mile. I really don’t think I’m being partisan here.
