After what happened to Obama for going easy on Romney's non-stop lies,
Biden has no alternative but to rip Ryan's head clean off and eat it,
right on that debate stage.

Sorry guys, but you asked for it. This is going to be a mismatch for the
ages. I don't think Ryan even has a law degree.

it's going to be very tough for ryan to be non-dismissive while "debating"
the other half of the doddering duo. biden does palin well: if he
doesn't drool on himself he'll "win".

I agree. Joe Biden will own this one. Romney is toast.

Well, that's what he WANTS to do. Having the ability and actually doing
it is another matter.

You never know how a debate is going to turn out, but remember that even
Palin bested Biden four years ago. Ryan is much tougher, so Biden will
have to find something that he's never demonstrated before to survive.

A 1.5 is pretty generous

Please show some common courtesy and refrain from responding to my posts
with this nonsense. Intelligent comments, as always, are welcome.

"Ryan himself said in an interview there's "more pressure" this week,
and he expects Biden to launch at him like a "cannon ball."

"Because of the president's terrible performance, because Mitt Romney
did such a good job of giving the country a choice, they don't have a
choice but to have Joe Biden come at me," Ryan said in an interview that
aired Sunday on Milwaukee radio station WTMJ."

Isn't that about what I said? Note that I said it before Ryan did. Maybe
he reads RGP.

Have you never really heard of the game of "lowering expectations"
before a debate?

Paul Ryan's greatest challenge in the debate will be the left wing
"moderator" Martha Raddatz (formerly married to a Bradley, son of
Washington Post-Bradley).

The left wing moderators are always rigged-to-the Democrat-advantage.

In the last VP debate against, Biden, Sarah Palin handled this problem
brilliantly by re-framing the left wing moderator's loaded questions and
answering in a substantive, on-topic fashion.

Sarah Palin won the debate against Biden, as she did in tough debates in
campaigning for governor of Alaska, because she's smart and a good
debater; which means debating the biased, left wing moderators at the
same time as the actual opponent.

You betcha Sarah didn't answer any loaded, leading, gotcha questions
from a left wing moderator.

I think Romney actually learned something from Michelle Bachmann, which
is: fight for ther last word, no matter how much the moderator tries to
step on your defense. Jim Lerher (sp? whatever) knew clearly, from the
beginning of the Romney/Obama debate that Romney was going to the mat,
every time, to get his rebuttal in on Obama's twisting of Romney's
policies. Jimbo backed-off. Raddatz may not. Paul Ryan may not fight the
moderator.

It'll be interesting to see how Paul Ryan handles the "moderator
problem." It's critical to how things play to public opinion with regard
to "who won the debate."

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see that the "non-partisan"
debate commission selected only people from the Left whose sympathies
lie with the Democrats and Obama to be moderators. However, at least in
the first debate they didn't get the result they expected.

Right leaning journalists can't be trusted.
