Mine was the line that went unsaid:
"So your budget plan goes like this: Romney gives $5 trillion taxpayer dollars to his banker friends and cuts 20% off of the budget at the same time and it doesn't hurt anyone because his fairy godmother waved her magic wand to make the middle class richer and provide every American with a cushy job, health care and a college education. Gotcha."
bingo! I thought there were a lot of missed opportunities for the VP tonight to really lay it out in stark terms and he did not do that. His style is too staccato and he interrupts his own thought process.
The lies were flying so thick and fast that I think Biden had a lot to do to keep up with them all. He got Ryan pretty good on a number of them and really made it plain that when you scratch the facade of Ryan's platitudes, he's got nothin'. I think Biden did very well to not devolve his points into an attack on Ryan and/or Romney's personal finances.
