The obligatory “Biden – the 85 interruptions” video

Yeah, I thought it was 82 but here is video:

Since the debate it is clear that there are two camps of different minds:

  • Biden played to the Dem base – who have applauded much for “giving it to the Evil choir boy”
  • Ryan played it cool, calm, and collected.

The insta-polls right after the debate showed the edge Ryan but most of the pundits pretty much said a draw.  The question seems to be “battle or war”?  Ryan made no major gaffes or mistakes while the optics for Biden, other than for his base, seemed troubling to the undecided – the very people who are being “politically stalked” right now with three weeks to go to Show Time.  The polls are still going in the right direction for Romney/Ryan – tomorrow should start seeing the “rolling-averaged” polls showing their results.  Then Tuesday – what will Obama do?


By all accounts, including his own, Obama had an “off night”.  Will he be more of the same, to counter the “wild toothed” Biden (which will loose it for him)?  Or completely swing to the School of Biden Debating Techniques in an attempt to do to Mitt what Joe couldn’t do to Paul?  I predict more of the latter than the former and that he will cross “the line” (where Biden did a long jump across it) and come across as very unPresidential.

Again, Mitt was not my guy, but if he stays steady and give a performance equal to or a tad better than the first debate, he will keep the momentum.  If he does, it will look like the race will be his to lose, especially if the onslaught of ads that are being predicted for Romney start to build on those two debate.

Also add to this – there seems to be an attitude turn by the media with respect to Obama – and it can be named Benghazi-Gate.  If they TRULY start to report on it as they should, it will be later seen as the worst Presidential self-induced-political-suicide-by-hubris EVAH.  As Steve pointed out, Obama has thrown Hillary under the bus, and having already throwing the intelligence community into the grease pit under the bus, there may well be a whole bunch of walking skeletons appearing flying over Obama’s horizen.
