Biden vs. Ryan: A Clash Between Conviction and Empty Promises

October 11, 2012

Biden Dominated Ryan…

CBS News @CBSNews .@CBSNews INSTANT POLL of Undecided Voters: Who won#VPdebate? BIDEN: 50% RYAN: 31% TIE: 19% Live Coverage:CBSNews.com

Larry Sabato@LarrySabato Pretty obvious that Biden had the edge in this debate. Ryan was workmanlike but Biden dominated.

Laura Rozen @lrozen Biden came off as more experienced, trustworthy MT@LarrySabato: Pretty obvious Biden had edge in debate. Ryan workmanlike Biden dominated.

Joe Hagan ?@joehagansays Translation: Biden won. RT @ryanjreilly: RT @KarlRove: I miss Jim Lehrer.

Michael Hastings @mmhastings Media consensus forming? Biden easily handling Ryan...

David Gregory ?@davidgregory Advantage here is for Biden. Swarming Ryan. Throwing a lot of punches. Talking a lot. Debating.

Michael Cohen @speechboy71 Agreed RT @davekarpf: I don't think it was a Biden win. I think it was Biden winmaggedon.

George Zornick @gzornick How you know Ryan lost: RT@thinkprogress: Right-wing trashing debate moderatorthkpr.gs/OXhiLY

Brett LoGiurato @BrettLoGiurato MSNBC declaring Biden the winner. Fox News focusing exclusively on Biden's smirking.#VPdebate

Garrett Haake @GarrettNBCNews There's also this: hearing a lot of conservative sniping at Raddatz. Generally, complaining about the moderator means you think you lost

Larry Sabato ?@LarrySabato You have to admit, Biden is on fire.

Andrew Sullivan @sullydishnow I think Ryan's inability to answer that question - how do you pay for it? - has to be the driving question now.thebea.st/VWXJFt

Paul Begala ?@PaulBegala Ryan on defense, big-time. As Mitt said, "If you're explaining, you're losing."

Sam Stein @samsteinhp fair to say Biden is speaking with details and Ryan in broad platitudes. reflects their backgrounds on this subject matter
