the bandwagon effect. Jumping on it is convenient and people who don't have the strength of their convictions should not be commenting publically. Disgusting that anyone in their right mind could think it was a tie or that Ryan won.

You really have to be brain-dead or in denial to think Lyin even came close to winning. Unless there was some alternate reality version of the debate aired last night that I missed because the one I saw showed Biden doing multiple Mortal Kombat fatality moves against cotton-mouth lyin ryan last night. It was just wonderful!

It was their viewer's panel that voted for Ryan 48-44. A polling sample they admit themselves oversampled Republicans and appears to have just been 'debate watchers' rather than actual undecided voters.

It even conflicts with the 61-39 poll Biden is winning on CNN's own home page.

And of course it conflicts with the CBS News Poll that showed Biden winning 50-31 with UNDECIDED VOTERS.

have Obama leading 60s-30s. So unless Romney can turn everyone left into grumpy white males, his odds ain't good.

If you Google the Ryan Biden debate, you come upon story after story about how rude Biden was towards Ryan. Ryan himself was rude and disrespectful to Biden:

"Sometime the words don't come out of your mouth the right way."

"I know you’re under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground"

And Ryan himself smiled a lot at Biden until the VP wiped the smile off his face. Not even nice trollin' on your part.

Biden comes off as being a "bully" but Rmoney ran over the moderator and the President - smiled and smirked the whole time and he comes off somehow as being "Presidential" lmao. Amazing how the media is bought and paid for in this country.

I don't remember Romney acting anywhere near as bad as Biden. Look I'm voting the Dem ticket because I don't want corporate sharks running my country, I just think we could have come up with some better candidates.

Rmoney came off as being a self-entitled bully spouting lie after lie and completely running over the moderator and President Obama. He totally ignored the Moderator completely. He set his own time limits and was a complete jackass. Biden respected the Moderator and made his points in a dignified manner befitting the Vice President of the United States. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see the clear difference between Bully Rmoney and Strong and Confident Biden.

Is that why Raddatz did a much better job at being a Moderator then Jim? Strange how that worked out since Jim is the man with more "experience." I think you need to re-watch the 1st debate and the VP debate again from last night and compare and see how Rmoney trampled all over Lehrer time and time again. Then get back to me and tell me with an honest mind and heart that Rmoney wasn't a bully and that Vice President Biden was.

When all you got is too much smiling and rudeness as a defense, you'll loose everytime. God bless Joe Biden, a true American hero.

and not resort to ridiculously over-the-top statements accusing Biden of being a "TOTALLY animated bully" and also be able to defend Romney and rebut accusations that he acted like a bully, interrupting Jim Lehrer, grabbing more time and responses than he was allowed, consistently seeking to have the last word whatever the moderator decreed, and smiling and mugging while Obama spoke.

people should respond? And now you're calling Biden not only a "totally animated bully" but a "vaudeville act" as well - and still with no facts or examples.

And they also state it's just a poll of their debate watchers pool and not representative of Americans as a whole.

Better luck next time though.
