Finally! Ryan just hit a home run!

[KeyLargo]

Biden continually scoffs at Ryan then folds his arms.

Whenever Joe does that I always think of "Walter"

[Jane Long]

Sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way, Joe!

[Westbrook]

> Did the frikken mod just ask Ryan which is worse, another
> war or Iran with nukes?

She hasn’t connected the dots to know that Iran with nukes *IS* war!

She needs to talk to Lara Logan.

this is a joke trying to follow it on FR...

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Can't believe how weak Ryan is. Hope he recovers when talk is about economy

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Ryan let Biden jump in. He is letting Biden run all over him! Biden is demagoging and Ryan just sits back and does nothing

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates I am sreaming at the TV setl. SPEAK UP MR RYAN SPEAK UP!!!!!

[NormsRevenge]

I didn’t know Ryan was debating the Cheshire cat.

Decorum, Joe, Decorum.

What a joke.

[netmilsmom]

TALK about the issues Paul.

[combat_boots]

Biden gives what, two cents to charity?

[bgill]

Biden is such an idiot.

[rdl6989]

Biden lost this one in the first round.

[Cato in PA]

Ryan blew it on responding to the unemployment figures. He should have pointed out the precipitous decline in the participation rate.

He sounds like a generic Republican, which is about all I expected from him. He may be knowledgeable, but he’s not a forceful speaker, and it doesn’t look like Romney’s sudden aggressiveness has rubbed off on him.

[Red Steel]

Hate to say it, but Biden is kicking Ryan’s ass. obama’s “attack dog” is constantly on the offense.

Biden is acting stupid.

[kevao]

LMAO. Ryan just won the debate with his own version of a “Well, there you go again” zinger. For a VP debate, this is all that will be remembered.

Biden is such an ass. A rude ass.

I hope he’s coming across like that to most Americans, too.

Lying through his big wolf teeth and acting mean and macho, like he’s ramped up on speed tonight.

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Ryan needs to inject the facts. Good line about just get out of the way by Biden.
