Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called his running mate to congratulate him following Thursday's vice presidential debate, a campaign spokesman said. Romney campaign traveling press secretary Rick Gorka told reporters that Romney called Rep. Paul Ryan approximately 10 minutes after the debate concluded to offer his congratulations. While the candidates debated in Kentucky, Romney was campaigning in Asheville, North Carolina

Vice President Joe Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times in a 90-minute debate with rival Paul Ryan, while CNN reported that women preferred Ryan. “FACT: Final Count: Biden interrupted 82 times during the entire debate,” the RNC’s Joe Pounder tweeted after the debate. CNN’s Gloria Berger said that she would have liked Biden to show less “condescension” and “eye-rolling.” Even MSNBC’s Chris Matthews — who thought that Biden won the debate — said that Biden “was openly contemptuous and disrespectful”

Poll: By Wide Margin, Democrats
Want Biden in All Remaining Debates

New Yorker Magazine, by Andy Borowitz Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog- 10/12/2012 12:02:41 AM Post Reply

DANVILLE, KY — In a poll of Democratic voters taken immediately following Thursday night’s Vice-Presidential debate, a wide majority said they wanted Vice-President Joe Biden to appear in all remaining 2012 debates. According to the constitutional scholar Davis Logsdon, of the University of Minnesota, the scenario of Mr. Biden appearing in all the remaining debates, while surely unorthodox, is within the realm of possibility: “According to the Constitution, the Vice-President steps in when the President is unable to fulfill his duties. Based on the first debate, that seems to be the case.” Mr. Biden got off to a strong start

Fifty percent of uncommitted voters who tuned into Thursday night's vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky., said they see Vice President Joe Biden as the winner over Mitt Romney's GOP running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., according to an instant poll taken by CBS News. Of the 431 polled immediately following the debate, 31 percent deemed Ryan the winner, and 19 percent said they felt it was a tie. Party-wise it's a switch from last week's presidential debate, which uncommitted voters handed easily to Romney over President Obama. Both Biden and Ryan gained ground on relatability and knowledge.

Ryan pokes fun at Biden's gaffes
while defending Romney

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) poked fun at Vice President Biden's propensity for making gaffes during Thursday night's debate in Danville, Ky. Ryan made the dig after Biden went after Mitt Romney's comment during a fundraiser that 47 percent of the country would never vote for him or take responsibility for their lives. "Mitt Romney's a good man. He cares about 100 percent in this country, and with respect to that quote, I think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way," Ryan said to laughter in the debate hall.

Biden swaps ‘hope and

During the Thursday night vice presidential debate, Vice President Joe Biden replaced ‘hope and change’ with ‘interrupt and laugh.’ The aggressive strategy followed President Barack Obama’s debate performance last week, which even liberal commentators heavily criticized as too reserved. “Mr. Vice President, I know you’re under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we don’t keep interrupting each other,” Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said at one point.

Twitter frowns on Joe Biden's laugh

Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan were the two candidates on stage at Thursday’s vice presidential debate, but a third character emerged: Joe Biden’s laugh, which didn’t escape the notice of tweeting politicos. (And led, of course, to at least three satirical Twitter accounts: Laughing Joe Biden, Biden Smirk, and yet another Laughing Joe Biden.) Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway: “Joe Biden’s laughing through talking about Iran sanctions?” TIME’s Michael Scherer: “Not sure debate cameras have been light tested for Biden’s teeth. Best to watch with sunglasses.”

A 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.

Part of CNN’s post-debate reaction consisted of host Erin Burnett talking to a group of 31 undecided voters at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. One of the participants had particularly strong words for Vice President Joe Biden‘s debate performance, and argued that his actions give credence to the need for term limits. “I thought Paul Ryan had a better command of the tax figures,” explained the undecided female voter. “The explanations that he gave, he seemed to be educating us, trying to teach us.

I expected “table-pounding atmospherics” from Biden but I didn’t expect him to act like a total jackhole for fully 90 minutes. Give him credit for knowing his target audience, though: His task tonight was to get the left excited again after Obama fell into a semi-coma in Denver, and evincing utter disdain for Ryan — grimacing, shouting, laughing inappropriately, constantly interrupting, the total jackhole experience — is just what the doctor ordered. He might have irritated independents and undecideds, but probably not so much that it’ll change people’s votes. The Democrats needed someone to go out there and clown for

Danville, Ky. - Looking to erase the memory of President Obama’s widely panned debate performance from a week ago, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. aggressively took the fight to his rival, Paul Ryan, on Thursday, accusing him of obfuscating Republicans’ tax-cut plans and calling criticism of the administration’s handling of last month’s Libya terrorist attack “malarkey.” Mr. Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said the Obama administration was late in spotting terrorism in Libya, has allowed Iran to get four years closer to a nuclear weapon, has left the economy in shambles and will have to raise taxes on

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace slammed Vice President Joe Biden’s demeanor at Thursday night’s vice presidential debate against GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. Wallace said that he was shocked by how “openly contemptuous” Biden appeared to act towards Ryan and that he thought Biden’s behavior lacked historical precedent. “I think I’ve watched almost every presidential and vice presidential debate since the first four Kennedy/Nixon debates in 1960 and, thinking back over the last few minutes, I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful

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.

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,

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

In the appearance, Cutter stuck to her previous remarks and blamed the administration’s changing Libya narrative on the intelligence community.

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,
