See, each side saw the spin in what the other side was saying. Tom Send a noteboard - 12/10/2012 01:52:54 PM
Republicans saw Biden as a lying sack of shit (which he is), and Democrats saw Ryan as a weaselly liar.

Based on the polling, independents didn't really like either of them, felt that Biden "won" but were put off by his arrogant and rude demeanor. Even so, the numbers were split far closer to the national split in terms of who "won", which says that this debate was probably not going to change much.

I do have to admit Biden did better, at times, than I thought he would.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Sorry, given their small sample size, that's a statistical tie, not a win. - 12/10/2012 02:57:04 PM 364 Views

It has little to do with educating yourself. - 15/10/2012 04:03:17 AM 449 Views
Do you know any of these names? - 17/10/2012 02:38:32 AM 396 Views

so because you don't want either Dem or GOP candidate for President - 16/10/2012 06:13:34 PM 373 Views
There is nothing sacred about voting. - 16/10/2012 08:22:33 PM 482 Views
Did you really just refer to Paul Ryan and by extension, Romney as "the good guys"? *NM* - 13/10/2012 04:31:14 AM 189 Views
He admitted to being a partisan R, if that gives you a clue. *NM* - 13/10/2012 05:40:27 AM 175 Views
Admitted to it and actually being one are two different things. *NM* - 15/10/2012 04:11:20 AM 201 Views
did you just express shock that there are opinions that differ from yours? - 13/10/2012 03:26:25 PM 393 Views
I expressed mock shock. Was I shocked? No. Did I wish to convey that I was? Yeah. - 15/10/2012 04:10:02 AM 514 Views
sorry if I assumed you had a decent side *NM* - 15/10/2012 05:55:53 PM 164 Views
Apology accepted! *NM* - 17/10/2012 02:43:04 PM 204 Views
The conservative media maybe - 12/10/2012 10:21:30 AM 416 Views
You mean, all liberal sources are calling it a tie? *NM* - 12/10/2012 01:20:05 PM 170 Views
Biden wiped the floor with Ryan, and you know it. *NM* - 12/10/2012 01:46:15 PM 181 Views
Not as per most pundits and the CNN poll - so sorry, your team lost AGAIN! *NM* - 12/10/2012 02:55:03 PM 163 Views
Oh, I guess pundits decide the election. *NM* - 12/10/2012 03:18:31 PM 187 Views
There is no middle ground for you, hm? - 12/10/2012 05:45:19 PM 386 Views
to conservatives, there are two types of media outlets - 13/10/2012 08:42:30 PM 496 Views
Great new ad - Biden laughing at the important issues of the day - 12/10/2012 01:23:24 PM 437 Views
Laughing at the blatant lies and mischaracterization. How else to respond to that? *NM* - 12/10/2012 01:42:23 PM 202 Views
Oh, and hypocrisy. *NM* - 12/10/2012 01:42:49 PM 187 Views

I think Ryan helped Romney more than Bidden helped Obama - 12/10/2012 05:59:32 PM 481 Views
if by "help romney" you mean "still hasn't specified what they would've done differently" then yes - 12/10/2012 06:09:27 PM 486 Views
There is a sound political reason for vagueness. - 12/10/2012 06:18:19 PM 456 Views
there's vague and then there's just plain making things up to score points - 12/10/2012 07:36:08 PM 462 Views
you mean like when Biden said he didn't vote for the wars? *NM* - 13/10/2012 03:36:27 PM 189 Views
there is a lot you dont see - 13/10/2012 03:28:55 PM 418 Views
They both accomplished what they had to do. Biden didn't need a longterm success. - 12/10/2012 06:25:12 PM 338 Views
