Biden needs to give Obama some hunting tips.
Doesn't CNN have a show spouting off about how they "keep'em honest"? CNN actually had a so called authority or opinion meister on an afternoon show refer to Biden as "extremely popular with the beer driining, blue collar, good ol' football males"! What a big lie! There is no place bigger on football than Texas,. and I can tell you Joe Biden is not in with any here in Texas. Texas will bote 59% or more in favor of Romney. The only place Joe Biden is really popular is those woman sun tanning and beauty palors he spends all his time at gossiping, and smoozing. Joe Biden is as fake as the Halloween Witches that popularize D. C.

That's because their wasn't a LIAR-IN-CHIEF wannabe on the top of the TICKET!!
I am not worrying about the so-called BUMP Romney got from the debate – that was his LAST CHANCE before the election and he is already dropping his gains because he continues to LIE – it will all come out in the next debate!!!
Obama 2012 – The Only Trusted Way Forward!!
Game changer? Momentum changer? Look at the statistics pertaining to senior citizen hunger, and the states where it happens the most. All of the states mentioned are republican strongholds, where republicans have ruled for years. And they contend to have the senior citizens best interest at heart. Talk about these statistics, and show the republicans for what they really stand for.
Joe, IF you really want to win this debate, you don't have to do anything spectatular. Just ask Ryan these two words for every lie he tries to tell the American people: SPECIFICS, please.
Congratulations Joe. You just WON the debate.
I'd expect Biden to do well because he has done this so often. He is the elder statesman who knows the system.
I haven't seen anything on Joe Bidden unlike Ryan where u put a lengthy story. Christian values for both candidates ?
What would happen in the debate if lies weren't tolerated? Would Lyin' Ryan just sit silent, unable to communicate?
Paul Ryan is no Dan Quayle. He's sharp and knows his stuff. And if he is anywhere near as prepared as Romney was, he'll make Biden look like the whack job he is.
And it could very easily extend the current momentum.
Romney / Ryan 2012
Go get that old hog Ryan!! don't let him lie to the "people"
This is going to be a joke!!!
Yes it could shift momentum; even more; from a slow steam roller to a fast steam roller over Obama campaign and the Democratic Party, there won’t be enough Democrats left to call it a party.
