| Martha Raddatz was an awful moderator – pretty much everything conservatives might have feared, after learning at a late hour of her undisclosed personal relationship with Barack Obama. She interrupted Paul Ryan constantly, openly argued with him, and presented Democratic talking points better than Biden did. If a Fox News anchor who once entertained Mitt Romney at her wedding had treated Biden that way, the left wing of the Internet would be burning down tonight. Raddatz did ask a few solid questions of Biden, although never with anything like the contentious tone she displayed

Obama has co-opted everything and everybody in this country but real Americans. Despite all these heroic efforts to fool people and corruption at every level of government,he's far from a shoo-in for reelection. There's a poll that shows Romney up by 7in Fl.,yet the real clear average shows it a tossup state along with Va. and NC.There's a sneaky way the left shews these rolling averages to keep Obama in the game.
Everything and I mean everything depends on suburban turnout.The other part of the equation is will urban voters go all in and even vote several times for Obama. Are there millions of Obama absentee ballots floating around by people who vote on election day also? What effect will all these newly crowned hispanic "citizens" have on swing states like Col. Nev and NM?
The unemployment rate among gov't workers is a measly 4% which is skewing the national average and covers up the 11 million people who want jobs.

Wow, Joe Biden being rude and churlish is energizes the Dem Party. Maybe Biden should have flashed the bird at Ryan. Put obama over the top.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, watched "Morning Joe" this a.m. and no signs of a split screen for Biden and his giggles there---they KNOW what he did. Nothing but praise for Joe, and not a word of complaint about Radditch, who let Looney Joe get away with murder, while constantly cutting Ryan off at the feet when he was making HIS points. She was a scandal, but a scandal that will be so overshadowed by Biden's Al; Gore behavior that the subject will probably not come up.

Considering that Ryan was debating two people, both of whom interrupted rudely and frequently, he did a magnificient job.

Horrible moderator - it was two on one most of the night. She had the ability to stop Biden from interrupting 82 times - but she chose not too. What an embarrassment but she was a poster child for the adoring left wing media.

Never can figure out why Republicans agree to let biased moderators be picked. Should not happen. I understand the choices are limited but surely Republicans can veto the biased ones. Candy Crawley will be as bad as the Martha Raddatz one.

Ryan did a great job, he was sincere and serious and had command of the facts. I loved his story of little "Bean", they knew she was a baby and a life before she was born. I couldn't decide which debate tactic was more distracting, Biden's creepy antics or Raddatz's skeleton face. Somebody needs to throw her a couple of donuts now and then.

Did anyone notice how nervous Martha Raddatz was? She was shaky and repeated the "I'm so honored to host this debate" at least twice in introducing herself.
But no surprise that Ms. Raddatz is Leftist shill. I used to hear her on Laura Ingraham's radio show, back when Raddatz was promoting her book on Iraq.
Laura was always way too nice to Raddatz, who was posing as an objective "war journalist" -- when it was obvious that she was nothing of the sort.
Raddatz did everything she could to undermine GWBush and the Iraq war effort.

Biden's Cheshire Cat smile was creepy. Its amazing how he can turn it on in an instant and then shut it off as if by a switch. There is no doubt that Ryan was debating two people last night. The constant interruptions and comments by Biden were beyond annoying and Martha interrupted Ryan every single time he opened his mouth, but she let Biden rant on and on. She only seemed to care about the two minute clock when Ryan was talking and never when Biden was. The minutes each candidate spoke were shown on CSPAN last night. They showed 41 minutes for Ryan and 42.8 for Biden. This is a misleading number. More than half the time Ryan was talking he was being interrupted by Biden and/or Raditz.

This is what happens when we allow leftists to moderate debates. Martha Raddatz was openly hostile to Ryan with a couple of questions. I like Ryan, but do not understand why he sat on his hands and let Biden constantly interrupt him. He could have taken lessons from Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
I walked away after the abortion question. Why did Ryan hesitate before answering? When she said "Do women have to worry if you get elected?" he should have just said no, but he hesitated and gave a nutty answer.
You can spin away, but this was not a good night for us.

I recently revisited DC after some time away. It is nothing but an echo chamber and the repubs actualy believe the same media bs that the dems do. That they agree to these moderators underscore the problems with the RNC. We are the unwashed beyond the beltway that are merely the money supply.

I was aware there was a Martha Radish and vaguely conscious of her acclaimed achievements, however after witnessing her in action last evening, I can easily comprehend why she has such difficulty hanging on to a husband.
Oh, and I'll see your two donuts and raise you two more.

With manic Joe and shakey Martha, the debate last night was bizarre to say the least. Paul Ryan stayed focused, calm and polite in a a debate that resembled an air raid of noise and confusion. That dems say their guy won based on this performance is why the right remains focused on ousting this rabble from high office. Romney/Ryan are winning this race.

I seriously doubt that in their heart of hearts the Lib media was proud of old Chicklets Joe. Buffoons don't get revered and they know that those images will be used against them.
People will now be on the outlook for any inappropriate smiling- maybe just any smiling. Advise to Obama's next debate: Show No Teeth.

Through adversity we become stronger. Conservatives, by necessity, have had to refine our arguments, become better debaters, improve our temperament, become more skilled in the art of persuasion. Conservative always have 2 opponents, the liberals who are openly our opposites, and the media who disseminate information to the public. The liberals or democrats, operate in a far easier political environment. They do not have to refine their arguments, so their message become muddled and incoherent. They no longer know how to debate, because the liberal moderators always give them the advantage. They can no longer stay cool under pressure, because they are so rarely under any pressure. And they have lost the art of persuasion, because they have become accustomed to demanding compliance.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

Then they came for the maker of a You Tube video, and – okay, we know how this story ends.

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
