CNN News, by Staff Original Article

Posted By: BuckeyeRon- 10/11/2012 11:42:59 PM Post Reply

CNN poll of debate watchers released following Thursday's matchup between Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden showed 48% of respondents named Ryan the winner and 44% said Biden won. The margin between the two candidates was within the poll's five point sampling error. A poll taken immediately after last week's first presidential debate showed a much more decisive victory for Mitt Romney. Sixty seven percent of debate watchers questioned said that the Republican nominee won the faceoff, with one in four saying that President Barack Obama was victorious.

Say whatever you want about last night’s debate, there is one thing we can all agree on. Joe Biden sure was happy. How happy was the vice president? He looked happier than Bill Clinton with a bottle of Viagra and an intern. All night long, Mr. Biden was just grinning like a jackass eating some cactus. Republican Paul Ryan was over there talking about the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. Mr. Biden smiled so wide, it looked like his dentures might pop loose. (Snip) Mr. Ryan studiously warned of the grave importance of getting “this debt and deficit under control

Biden Loses It

This evening, vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) took on Vice President Joe Biden in a wide-ranging debate covering everything from Libya and Iran to the economy. Biden’s demeanor was the story of the evening: smirking, laughing, snorting, shaking his head. The strategy seems to have been to laugh off America’s problems, since the Obama administration has done nothing to solve them. The debate itself was secondary to the demeanor of Biden. Biden had nothing to run on, so he decided to distract. And those pearly whites were a bizarre distraction from what could have been a substantive debate.

Big Bird has a new replacement, and his name is “Laughing Joe.” Vice President Joe Biden’s chuckles, sighs and interruptions during the first and only vice presidential debate with Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., took off on the Internet during the debate. Within minutes, a new @LaughinJoeBiden and Twitter handle emerged and added hundreds of followers every minute. By the end of the debate, more than 7,000 users followed the parody account which tweeted out photos and animated gifs of Biden’s laugh, punctuated by “lol.” Another account @BidenSmirk tweeted: “Face hurts…stuck in permanent #BidenSmirk for over an hour…”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came to the Chronicle for an editorial board meeting Wednesday. I used the opportunity to ask Pelosi about her most famous and quoted statement from 2010. On March 9, 2010, Pelosi said of the Affordable Care Act, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.” What did you mean by that? I asked. Pelosi said that the quote “was taken out of context” and it is most often quoted “by the far right.”

Barack Obama’s Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter appeared on Fox News Channel’s Special Report with Bret Baier where she was grilled over comments she made on CNN saying that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan had politicized the Libya attacks. Cutter claimed that Romney made the attacks a political issue before the Obama administration’s response came into question. Baier played the clip of Cutter speaking to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin where she said, “The entire reason that [the Benghazi attack] has become the political topic it is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan” Baier

It is a freezing cold autumn night in Ohio, but as an expectant crowd gathers under one of the Buckeye state's famous big skies it is suddenly evident that Mitt Romney's new-found bounce isn't confined to the opinion polls. With a skip and a hop the Republican candidate comes fairly bounding onto a stage surrounded by nearly 10,000 supporters and looks out over the sea of faces. "Wow!" he exhales, obviously drinking in the atmosphere, "So many people. What a crowd. Now that's what I call a big Ohio welcome!" Meet the all-new, remade Mitt Romney. He's peppier,

Paul Ryan hopes to deliver a knockout blow to President Barack Obama's hopes of re-election tonight against Joe Biden who expects to come at him 'like a cannonball'. Paul Ryan has been taking time out from his workouts to prepare assiduously for tonight's vice-presidential debate in Danville, Kentucky with both camps predicting a muscular showdown between the two campaign attack dogs. If the pictures in the next edition of TIME magazine of the vice-presidential candidate working out last year are anything to go by, he's at least in physical shape for the showdown.

Mitt Romney has opened up a 7-point lead over President Barack Obama in Florida—yet more proof that last week's presidential debate may have been a game changer for the Republican nominee's campaign. A new Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9 poll found Romney leading Obama 51 percent to 44 percent among likely Florida voters. That's a major shift from last month when the two contenders were statistically tied in the state. According to the poll, 5 percent of previously undecided and 2 percent of Obama backers moved to Romney's corner after the debate, while another 2 percent

Mitt Romney has for the first time surged into the lead in the much-watched RealClearPolitics average of national polls after his commanding debate performance - an ominous sign for President Barack Obama's hopes of re-election. All but one national poll using data gathered since the first presidential debate in Denver has Romney in the lead. Ironically, the only exceptions is the Rasmussen tracking poll, which liberals frequently accuse of having a conservative bias. In polls released on Thursday, Gallup, Fox News, Monmouth/Survey/USA/Braun and IDB/TIPP each gave Romney a

Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” on Thursday to double down on her accusation that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the only reason Americans care about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the Benghazi embassy. Cutter attempted to take on host Bret Baier in a nearly seven-minute interview on location in Danville, Ky., the site of tonight’s vice presidential debate. In the appearance, Cutter stuck to her previous remarks and blamed the administration’s changing Libya narrative on the intelligence community.

Paul Ryan and Joe Biden won’t have to weigh in ahead of their matchup tonight, but the vice presidential contenders are packing in pregame meals before their debate. Before heading into the arena at Centre College in Danville, Ky., Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, known for his conscientious diet and exercise regime, planned to eat a light dinner of salmon and rice, according to aids. He had a tuna salad sandwich for lunch today, and spent the rest of his day studying up, relaxing with his family and working out. Vice President Joe Biden also kept things light, planning a pre-debate meal of grilled chicken,

A struggling Massachusetts-based company that makes batteries for electric cars and got $240 million in stimulus money is being saved from bankruptcy by a Chinese billionaire who could move operations overseas. A123 Systems received a $241.1-million grant from the Obama administration three years ago and more than $125 million in State of Michigan tax credits in the hopes that the company would create jobs, while leading the country away from conventional gas-guzzling vehicles and toward clean energy. But the lithium ion battery maker is now poised to hand over the reins to Wanxiang Group

Montreat, N.C.- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney met Thursday with Rev. Billy Graham, and the aging evangelist pledged to do "all I can" to help the GOP nominee win the presidency. Romney went to see Graham and his son, the Rev. Franklin Graham, at the elderly evangelist's mountaintop home in the mountains of western North Carolina. "Prayer is the most helpful thing you can do for me," Romney told the 93-year-old Graham. The meeting came just days after Romney told a newspaper he would not pursue abortion-related legislation as president. Romney later insisted that he would be a

Vice President Joe Biden was “all over the map,” according to an email sent by Fox News Channel’s White House Correspondent Ed Henry and published by On The Record host Greta Van Susteren. Due to concerns about his preparedness, President Barack Obama’s senior campaign advisor David Axelrod was brought in to take over Biden’s debate preparation. The report on Van Sustern’s blog reveals that Democrats were concerned about Biden following the president’s lackluster showing at the first presidential debate. They say that Axelrod has, however, adequately prepared Biden

Allen McDuffee of the Post blog “Think Tanked” wrote an item in advance of the Biden-Ryan showdown in Kentucky, titled “Vice presidential debate: The chart Joe Biden should memorize.” In the post, he suggested Biden should internalize a chart from the left-wing Center for Budget and Policy Priorities that hits Ryan with the claim that “62 percent of proposed cuts in [the] Ryan Plan come from

Mitt Romney has opened up an enormous lead over President Barack Obama in Florida, according to a new Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald/Tampa Bay Times poll.

(Snip) Romney also has a big advantage on a key issue in Florida — Medicare. When asked the question of whose plan was "likely to do more long-term harm to Medicare," 54 percent chose Obama.

Yes, it helps the president's image as being tough on terror. But, what will the consequences be?

Barack Obama's lackluster debate performance last week has dramatically altered the presidential race in Florida, with Mitt Romney opening up a decisive 7 percentage point lead, according to a new Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll. The survey conducted this week found 51 percent of likely Florida voters supporting Romney, 44 percent backing Obama and 4 percent undecided. That's a major shift from a month ago when the same poll showed Obama leading 48 percent to 47 percent — and a direct result of what Obama himself called a "bad night" at the first debate.
