Why Biden lost the debate
Vanity ^ | 10/12/2012 | Winner3000

One of the casualties of Obama's debate last week is his likability rating. That was the only thing that was sustaining him. It definitely wasn't the state of the economy. When he started smirking and looking condescending when Romney was pummeling him with facts, some people not only continued to think of him as not exactly competent, they started for the first time thinking him as rude and a jerk. While Biden probably made Democrats feel better with his debate performance, I expect that his terrible rudeness confirmed the lack of likability of the Obama/Biden ticket in the minds of the independent voters. I believe people will be surprised to see the momentum continue for Romney over the next few days due to this dynamic.

There have to be a lot of people out there who are suddenly thinking “My God, if Obama should die, we would have THAT flaming a*****e as president?”

Why Romney will lose the next debate:

In debate 1, Romney won despite saying virtually nothing about the SIZE of government.

In debate 2, Ryan looked weak because he was unwilling to say anything at all about the SIZE of government.

In debate 3, Romney is going to absolutely lose unless he shows up ready, willing and able to repeatedly and forcefully attack the SIZE of government.

There is one thing that defines the Obama administration, and that’s the SIZE of government.

If Romney/Ryan aren’t willing to talk about the SIZE of government, then they aren’t really attacking the Obama administration.

By not talking about the size of government, Romney and Ryan both showed up to gun fights armed only with knives. Romney got away with it the first time; he won’t get away with it again.

For generations to come, debate coaches will be using Biden’s performance as an example of how not to do “incredulous.”

At the end of the debate, she looked as though she’d been hit by a bus.

I kept waiting for her to pass that stone.

Really? The “size of government” is the only thing that can save Romney? Nothing about the terrible economy, the outrageous spending, or the feckless and dangerous foreign policy? None of that has any bearing on anything anymore?
