CNBC “snap poll” Ryan 56% Bozo 39%. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile… Lundz’s dunzes still have heard the details they need to make up their minds.
Forever in search of more details and information, you just can’t fool this crowd.
They’re way too saavy to settle on anything but the actual equations behind the economics. They want the spreadsheets. They want to know how many kg of plutionium the Iranians have, and just how many grams they are from critical mass. They need to know the yield of the weapon. Anything less is just a bunch of hooey.
But seriously, there needs to be a deadline on stupidity. If you haven’t decided who you’re voting for by now, you should be ridiculed and forbidden to cast a vote.
Some of these people could spend all afternoon at Walmart trying to decide between boxers or briefs.

Well, I watched the last 25 minutes or so. Biden could work his way up to (Bill) Clinton level on my detest-o-meter. Best remark I’ve heard yet, from one of the people posting at NRO: ‘Biden was a used-car salesmen, who at times looked straight at the camera and asked, e.g., seniors and the middle class, “What am I going to have to do to put you in a certified, pre-owned Acura tonight?”’

I can see how Obama supporters may think Biden held his own and vice versa for Ryan. Maybe the Romney campaign can use Biden’s lies and distortions in their campaign ads. The moderator lived up (down) to expectations. It is a mystery why the Romney campaign or any Republican campaign would agree to a debate moderated by a member of the MSM. Why don’t they just hire a registered dem lobbyist to be the moderator?

P.S. : in radio, Ryan came across as deferential, but firm, and — just occasionally — edging over into abrasiveness, when provoked. Biden kept promising details, but sometimes didn’t follow through. Some of his points were intelligent, but overall, I think, Ryan came across as more presidential, and more compassionate, and more understanding. And definitely more “cool under fire.”

His vocal tick, Neo, have you noticed? When he is biting his tongue, or holding back, he has a little throat-cough “hmmph.” I heard it a couple of times tonight. ;./

Seems to me (I was listening on the radio) that Mr. Biden might lose points for having been rude? I think the “I’m smarter than you” Joe Biden showed up. I hope it is a problem, but am worried that in These Days, rude might be a winning tactic.

Ok. Frank Lundz or whatever his name is with the independents who i previously had expected to revert to their normal trivial and mostly silly observations, have reverted to even sillier and more trivial observations I had not anticipated, in noting Joe’s visible disrespect was “passion” and that it was good.

How did we get to the point where we are ruled by a small group of nitwits who can’t find their rear ends with both hands?

Biden’s affect was surpassingly strange. I’ve never seen such a bizarre performance by a major political figure before, at least in this country.

I think what Biden’s condescending attitude shows is what a sense of his own superiority he has acquired after all his years in the senate and as VP. I’m sure he actually thought his smirking was going to play well, as in – look at how silly Paul Ryan is and how informed and smart I am. Fortunately, after bouncing around the internet and reading a sampling of opinions, it looks like just about everyone found him obnoxious and classless.
