All in all I score it as a draw. Biden came off as obnoxious with his interruptions, but was more on top of the issues than Obama was in the first debate. I was maddened though by Ryan letting Biden get off with the “the Iranians don’t have a weapon to put the uranium in, and we’d know before they did” rubbish.
Quoting the wikipedia article about Little Boy: “No full test of a gun-type nuclear weapon had occurred before the “Little Boy” device was dropped over Hiroshima.”
Biden’s brilliant intelligence analyses could end with a “test” of an Iranian gun-type bomb over Tel Aviv or in a container ship in the Port of Los Angeles or the East River.
I just got polled by KABC in L.A. I told them Ryan was the clear winner. I live far from L.A.
Britt Hume - smirking, laughing, smiling, mugging was so compelling that people couldn’t take their eyes off them. Thought it was unattractive and rude. Cranky old man debating a polite young man.
Biden, you dolt, don’t you realize that Iran is working on the weapon simultaneously with the uranium enrichment? They may be crazy, but they’re not stupid.
