I find the part at the end of the debate when the candidates' families come forward to embrace them to be so creepy

Predictably, Matthew Dowd sez Biden did as well as Cheney against Edwards in 2004: stopped the bleeding, energized The Base, and so on, blah.

"Governor Romney, 10 days ago, was asked, you pay 14% [taxes] on $20 million. Someone making $50,000 paid more than that. Do you think that is fair? He said, yes, that is fair,” Biden said. “You think these guys are going to cut those loopholes?”

I'm switching to baseball, but Maddow just zinged the fuck out of Ryan re Afghanistan. Paraphrasing: "He doesn't know enough to realize how badly he messed up. He just knows the answer by studying for the test, he doesn't really understand what he's talking about."
― WmC, Friday, 12 October 2012 02:45 (eleven years ago) link
So much more interesting than last week. Biden was fantastic for the first half, especially that one segment where he said "Malarkey." He hectored a little whenever they turned to foreign policy, and I'm not sure how well all his split-screen laughing and eye-rolling will go over. Ryan's got some annoying cadences, and factually, I guess we'll find out tomorrow. I haven't scrolled back, but I don't think you can say he was terrible; he held his own, and had some good moments. (And one really bad one, when he alluded to the closing polls.) I can't see that tonight hurt Romney. Democrats will be happy, ditto Republicans. Raddatz was really good for the most part.

“Go ahead and laugh at Uncle Joe, or call him a fool if you like—I’m not going to stop ya,” Biden continued. “But know that I have a soul, and that my soul bleeds. Hell, I may not always know which way I’m going, or why, but god damn it if I’m not trying the best I can. The everloving best I can.”

kinda think biden's catholic answer came off as mealymouthed, but he'd banked at least some goodwill. he's eloquent and well-composed, but i really get the 'smug' thing.

biden's laughing and all that seemed perfectly appropriate considering he was dealing with an idiot who he has absolutely no respect for! just being honest.

i think to people who realize what a tool ryan is, that's how it comes off (laughter and mocking is appropriate - ryan's arguments are not serious)and for those that don't realize what a tool ryan is (majority of voting public imo), it comes off as simply ryan is weak. having been the tiny weak kid on the playground for many years, i can confirm that even when people want to side with you and you're a nice guy, when you're getting picked on and laughed at in public and you can't come up with a good response, you look completely weak and feeble. doesn't bode well for someone on the presidential ticket
