"I'd be surprised if there weren't far more fireworks in this debate than there were in the first presidential debate,"

It would be pretty hard to have LESS.

Sorry to threadjack, but didn't anybody get distracted by this photo?

It looks like some sort of crashed dirigible pirate ship with wheels.

I hope I don't black out before I get to see Joe scraping that little punk off the bottom of his shoe.

As one of the conservative movement's foremost thinkers, Ryan, 42, combines a polite demeanor with an unflinching willingness to outline steps that would dramatically scale back the role of the federal government.

Sure, unless you want, y'know, specifics.

Never mind the tea party, Ryan's true constituency is the commentariat, which years ago decided that he was the Honest, Serious Conservative, whose proposals deserve respect even if you don't like him.
But he isn't and they don't. Ryanomics is and always has been a con game.

AverageAmericanGuy		2012-10-09 03:44:34 AM

Vice Presidents don't matter. Except in the case of Cheney, they are mostly irrelevant.

Whatever happened there, I'm choosing to blame Dick Dastardly and Muttley.

I really hope Biden does what I hope he will and call out Ryan and Rmoney for what they are. Complete and worthless lying sacks of shiat.

From the looks of things in the article's picture, Biden might want to switch to low-calorie beer.

He's also apparently one of the conservative movement's foremost long distance runners.

/Yeah, he's a bullshiat artist that the media has assigned his role in the play to

shotglasss		2012-10-09 07:06:05 AM

Joe Biden is going to wind up looking like Admiral Stockdale...just standing there looking stupid while Ryan talks over his head. The liberal media is going to slobber on Biden's privates and tell us what a great job he did. Obama is going to stay hidden in luxury resorts until it's his turn again to get his ass kicked by Romney again.

SecretAgentWoman		2012-10-09 07:16:19 AM

I miss Anthony Weiner. Seriously, can you imagine THAT debate?

What a disappointment he turned out to be.

/GO JOE

I'm hoping Joe drops at least one F bomb.

You're obviously not very familiar with Biden. I'm actually more worried he's going to say TOO much, and get carried away.

AverageAmericanGuy: Vice Presidents don't matter. Except in the case of Cheney, they are mostly irrelevant.

True. ButI think it's pretty safe to say in the Romney/Ryan team, Ryan's the "brains"; the new-post debate Romney is the slick, used car salesman who will say/do anything to get sale (vote).

This year has increased importance due to the previous debate. Biden has to win, or risk sinking an already fragile campaign

quatchi		2012-10-09 08:54:08 AM

Biden and Ryan have shown a greater willingness to mix it up than their buttoned-down bosses, and both seem comfortable playing the traditional vice-presidential role of attack dog.

[okaywiththis]

Bring it.

tenpoundsofcheese		2012-10-09 09:04:03 AM

Hopefully the moderator won't let the dem talk for four more minutes the way jim did during the
previous debate

That was just more lib bias from the media trying to get 0bama reelected.

Based on his history, he is more likely to plagiarize lines from Admiral Stockdale

I hope that Biden rolls up in his Trans-Am with Metallicas S&M version of For Whom the Bell Tolls blasting out the window. Then Ryan will shiat himself in fear.

CanuckInCA: Why in the hell does the media insist on calling Ryan a "thinker"?

He can't even explain his own plan, probably because it doesn't work unless you divide by zero.

He recently walked off an interview because he didn't like the question. He was rhapsodizing about helping people in the ghetto with opportunities and investments and education. The reporter asked him if he was going to accomplish that with tax cuts. He ended the interview and called the question "strange." He doesn't handle pushback very well and gets peevish and irritated when he's called on his BS.
