Joe can put the bat away now.

Joe by a whisker but it was close.

Really?

Faux is slamming Joe for his facial expressions - too much smiling. He was a condescending old man. Faux nails it again.

Edit: disrespectful, smirking, laughing, etc. and Faux is fact checking this debate unlike the presidential debate.

I vastly prefer the table set-up to the podiums. Better moderation overall although the last two questions were kind of sucky. And the only question relating to women was framed in the context of the men's religious views which was a strange way to go about it. I am wondering why this aspect of domestic policy has been shunted aside by both debates.

All Karl Rove's tweets were absurd. He's completely disingenuous.

If you like total crap tweets you'll love Reince Priebus' tweets.

Advantage Biden for sure. listened to the debate while exercising on the treadmill. very much liked not being caught up in facial expressions.

Biden was rude throughout. Embarrassing for a man of his statue. He interrupted Ryan 82 times. It was as distracting and as big a turn off as Al Gore's sighs..

No fact checker needed to debunk Biden's biggest lie...that there was never a request from Benghazi for more security.

I would say that if you read the transcript it would be a draw. If you listened, it would go to Biden. If you watched, it would fo to Ryan because of Biden's demeanor.

Swampy, I read that on Fox too. Biden wasn't rude, he just wouldn't let the lies fly. Which has got to be a good thing.

" ...If you watched, it would fo to Ryan because of Biden's demeanor."
Well, I did watch and it didn't.

Ryan tried to keep his painfully obviously over-practiced smile/smirk face on, but his nervous gulping evident in his neck (don't make me point it out), belied his panic at being completely out classed.

I don't call a man rude for not being prepared to listen to lies and misrepresentations and lack of clear alternatives. I call him honest. Biden showed contempt and disbelief when Ryan's words were worthy of contempt and disbelief.
