Joe Biden picks up some binders.

At Costco.

I wonder who they're for.

Joe Biden throws the red meat. I still liked the first debate better.

Joe Biden did a good job calling out Paul Ryan at the debate. Facts matter. Nice. 

Partisans and hosts of talking head shows will no doubt like this debate much better. Ryan used Romney's tactic of throwing out one inaccurate statement after the other. Obama chose not to take the debate and stuck to his points about Romney being a flip-flopper. Reporters did the fact checking later. 

Biden got bogged down in bickering back and forth. It was more entertaining but not exactly Presidential.

Now Mitch McConnell is criticizing Biden for interrupting, being rude, and disrespectful. That's a hint that Romney and Ryan were both trying to get their opponent to become frustrated and take the bait.

Jim Lehrer is vindicated. There's nothing wrong with letting candidates talk at length about important issues. Tonight's moderator Martha Raddatz, ended the night with three horrible questions. The last two were a waste of time considering all the issues that weren't discussed.

What can you offer than nation that no other man can? Did she get confused and think she was hosting ElimiDate? 

The funniest moment of the night came when Ryan responded to a question about negative campaigns making the troops sad by launching into a series of ugly, negative attacks. Ryan either has a great sense of irony or none at all.

Biden did a good job. Ryan came off smarmy and dishonest. For reporters in New York and DC, and others accustomed to thinking that being rude and over-aggressive is a virtue, I'm sure they think Biden did much better than Obama in the last debate.

Live blogging/tweeting Vice-Presidential debate

I love that Ryan responded to a question about ugly, negative campaign ads by launching into a series of ugly, negative attacks. He either has a great sense of irony or none at all.

It's frightening how much Ryan sounds like George W. Bush. Don't work through the UN. Fear-mongering about WMDs and a state sponsor of terror. Ugh.

I think Ryan needs to take a five minute break and come back when he can figure out what his position is on when to leave Afghanistan.

My head is going to explode if Ryan gets away with claiming Republicans in Congress wanted bipartisanship.

The Republican tax agenda has been to push the burden onto the middle class for the past 40 years. Romney is no different.

It's official. Republicans hate green jobs. From Paul Ryan to Rodney Davis.

Oh, it's the old "conservative who displays individual acts of compassion while proposing greedy, ugly policies" routine. I guess it worked for Reagan.

Facts Matter.
Nothing else needs to be said.

After two question from the moderator, Biden has been pushed on the embassy attack more than the press asked Bush about intelligence before the Iraq war.

I'll be at a computer during the VP debate so I might as well tweet and blog for my own amusement. I'll update this post during the debate and tweet here.

I'll be interested to see if Ryan lies as much as Romney did. How often will Biden bring up the Ryan budget and how hard will Ryan run away from it? And of course, I'm hoping Uncle Joe gives us a good laugh.
