Experience matters.
And Joe Biden is smart, articulate, human.

Ryan, a valiant but ineffective effort ... not ready to be vice president.

That's what the corporate mainstream media will have to say.

The Biden win is obvious and undeniable.

But it's hard to deny that this was anything but a thrashing.

Yes, sad but true. The media bends over backwards to accomodate the right no matter how wrong they are.

But at least we hit back and weren't punching bags this time.

This from KOMO 4 News, Seattle:
End of day VP debates don't matter.
VP smirked too much.
VP was supposed to be aggressive to make up for Obama's failed first debate.

That from dem strategist!
Below from republican strategist:

Biden was a buffoon.
Ryan got his message out calmly.
Ryan had his facts straight but kept getting interupted.
Moderator was ineffectual.
Biden was on a mission to keep Ryan from getting his messege out.
Both made statements that stretched truth.
The debate was a draw, both think they accomplished mission.

Below is me:
Ryan brought a broken rubber knife to a gun fight and experienced EPIC FAIL. Nuff said there.
OTOH,
Vice President Joe Biden is my newest hero. That man just told me how hard the Obama administration is fighting for my country, for our citizenrey and for me. He fearlessly faced the true enemy of America and that enemy stumbled. He brought me to tears more then once. He made me proud! THAT IS WHAT AN AMERICAN LEADER LOOKS LIKE!!!

Years ago Senator Obama gave the keynote speech for Sen. Kerry at the DNC. On that day Barrack Obama had my heart, on that day he had my hopes that some day he would run for President. I knew on that day that he would make a good President.
Today Vice President Joe Biden gained my heart. Today he has my full support should he choose to run for President again. Mark my words, he will be a great President, should he choose to run.
