Who else is REALLY looking forward to Biden/Ryan?

I always kind of expect presidential debates to be rather tepid affairs. All canned talking points and rehearsed lines.
The VP debates I expect to be livelier. They can be the attack dogs their counter parts can't.
I bet Biden is chomping at the bit to get his proverbial hands on that weasel Paul Ryan. He's got too much fire in him not to go on the attack.
I can't wait!

1. Well, given how he handled SP, I don't know what to expect....
He was well nigh perfect then, understated yet forceful, steady and intelligent yet humorous and very human.
I almost expect a repeat of the Pres debate last week. Just be the adult in the room while the kid throws his tantrum and harvest the video for ad fodder.
The Repubs have gotten to the point that anything they say turns immediately into a Democratic ad.

I think Joe will be fine because he is naturally a good debater. I was watching some of the debates from 2007 the other day and he was always the most liveliest with lots of good points made in his arguments.
But the smashmouth feeding frenzy some people want debates to be just is not how they usually are.

3. Be prepared: VP Biden will probably say something that makes everyone cringe.
I'm sure some here will complain endlessly about it in the following days. And, maybe it won't happen at all. However, I believe Ryan will lose it before it is over and steal the show with his assholery. Anyone want to take bets as to when he'll lose it?

11. I am not a big fan of Biden (not that I wont vote for him mind you) What a good little DUmmie.
but I cringe every time he goes off script. I hope they have him properly briefed.
VP debates aren't going to matter much. Ryan will do fine. I'm waiting for the Dummies to come up with the idea of having the big dog stand in for "0" in the next pres. debate.

He's clean, articulate and doesn't speak with a negro dialect...
...oh, wait.

Why is Joe Bidet taking six whole days to prepare?
Why is Joe Bidet taking six whole days to prepare?They know that if Biden gets trounced like Obama did, the election is over.
Why is Joe Bidet taking six whole days to prepare?It'll take that long for "don't go off script" to sink into his senile brain.
Serious question here, do they really think that Biden the gift of gaffes that keeps on giving, that he's really going to beat Ryan?Serious answer. No. That's why he will have 6 days to prepare. Further the media is moving to circle the wagons, and Vice President Elect Ryan will have to debate a liberal media propagandist Media shill as well as Biden.
The media has no intention to allow another victory. Obama was given 4 extra minutes and it didn't help. Ryan will be cut off, and fed gotcha questions. Biden will be fed scripted questions given to him in advance. Professional speech writers will feed him zingers to sling. The media announce Biden the winner no matter what happens.I have no doubt that you are 100% correct. The only reason I am not despairing is because I think Paul Ryan is probably one of the smartest people in Congress. He won't get rattled. He can think on his feet. And he will rebut every one of Crazy Uncle Joe's strange statements with facts, stats, and common sense. In the end, no matter what the media says, everyone who watches the debate will ultimately know who won. And the undecideds will be left with the crucial question of the election: Who do you want to be a heartbeat away from the presidency - Paul Ryan or the crazy dude who should be locked up for his own good?
Serious question here, do they really think that Biden the gift of gaffes that keeps on giving, that he's really going to beat Ryan?They're in damage control.
WTF? Someone has no life. :loser: :loser:
VP debates aren't going to matter much. Ryan will do fine.
I also don't remember him exactly kicking Sarah Palin's ass four years ago, either, as I recall it there wasn't anything out of that debate that particularly helped or hurt either ticket.And Paul Ryan is about a hundred times sharper than Sarah Palin.
Biden couldn't see his ass if his head was stuck up there, which it generally is. The only reason he's even on the ticket is to make sure the messiah looks intelligent. You have to admit, at this stage of the game, he needs it!
The biggest risk in this debate is the incredibly low expectation for Slow Joe.
If he can make only a couple ofreasonablecoherent or even intelligible statements, a lot of people will be so astonished they'll declare him the winner.
