“Biden has been doing this for 40 years....sadly Biden will probably win.....not so much on facts but on style.”
Did Biden thump Sarah Palin? That’s not how I recall things. I believe she held her own, much to the surprise of the MSM and Democrat apologists. Palin is a pretty good communicator, but Ryan combines that attribute with a level of detailed knowledge about the budget/issues that she lacked. He may not end up with as commanding a performance over Biden as Romney did over Obama, but I’d be astonished if many impartial observers scored the debate in Biden’s favor.
As some other pundit observed, Biden is likely to come out with both guns blazing (something he felt he couldn’t do against Palin without getting roundly criticized for attacking a woman), but when he does so, that’s when he most often makes his greatest gaffes. I’m guessing that the combination of Ryan’s zingers (which he surely has stockpiled) and Biden’s gaffes will easily tip the debate in Ryan’s favor.
I PRAY you are right.....I’m a pessimist.
