I don't think saying someone was "bullied" is a very good losing debate strategy.

Makes them sound young, inexperienced, and weak.

Joe Biden and President Obama don't let people bully them. Who would vote for someone who gets bullied??? Strange post debate tactic. What grade is Ryan in that the principal has to come out to his defense?? hahahaha

Oh, and the motor mouth speed freak last week interrupting and running roughshod over EVERYONE at that debate was not a bully?

THEY are allowed to be 'bullies' (aka Romney) but they cry victim when they get a taste of their own medicine. And the mainstream media is like that parent who thinks their bully child is an angel, saying, 'there there, we'll take care of the bully for you' while the child looks back and sticks out their tongue at the other child.

I really have never been so disgusted with CNN - every day in the last few weeks when I think they can't get any worse, they crater. This was clearly not a draw, holy fuck. Gotta kiss those corporate asses I suppose. That's okay, CNN can enjoy eternity in 'remember when CNN was relevant?' land.
