Ryan did better than expected on foreign affairs and seemed confident in his answers right up to the abortion issue where he and Romney differ on exceptions to an abortion ban for incest, rape and the mothers health. You could clearly tell he was uncomfortable with Romney's policy and made the distinction between belief and policy.
Will this debate change minds...probably not. But I think the Democrats got some of their mojo back and the Republicans can relax, Ryan did fine and didn't embarrass them. But sheesh, Ryan is pretty boring.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

I thought the debate was overall ok, Biden was a bit over aggressive, interrupting and rude, and Ryan kept his cool and spoke clearly. The Moderator was pretty good too, and the table setting was better IMO. Nothing new really though, same ol talking points and promises, little detail. Next time serve beer instead of water and ol Joe would really open up!

My 9 year old was shocked when he heard me say I disagreed with the president. He said "He's the president, he tells the country what to do!".
That scared the heck out of me. We immediately sat down and had a good long talk about respect for the office of the president, but not being forced to agree with what the current holder of that office is doing with it. We also covered the fact that politicians work for us, not the other way around. I reinforced that the president and all other politicians have a duty to listen to the will of the people.
Then I told him that the dirty stinkin liberals were the cause of all evil in the world.

That would be entertaining!
It is interesting to read the spin doctors and look at the quick polls. They are all over the place but in essence, it looks like it will have minimal impact on the race. Frank Luntz had a group of undecideds he was polling and none of them got off the fence after this debate.

I have zero respect for Biden or Obama at this point and I could care less what anyone else thinks.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Other than your last joke, i agree. The president works for us and is not the ruler of us. If the president or the VP act disrespectful, I will act disrespectful toward them in return. These debates drew a very clear picture of who these candidates really are. Obama looks down when talked to and Biden has a condescending smile/laugh/smirk and interupts every time Ryan makes a solid point.Nobody that matters wrote:
