The CNN poll released after the debate showed the numbers to be Ryan 48% VS Biden 44%.
Given the margin of error a virtual tie.
What I think this poll is not revealing are three things:
1) Paul Ryan did a great closing that will resonate for weeks to come. He took leadership,said he would be held accountable and not run from the tough decisions that any administration will face in the coming years. He also asked for the vote.
2) People are sick of old style politics and Joe Biden kept interrupting and cutting Ryan off.
3) Most important is this; people want a positive future and Ryan gave them that. I believe this will count big time later on in November when people actually make their voting decision.
Still Biden didn’t lose any immediate ground like Obama did last week.
This debate puts the pressure squarely on the shoulders of Barack Obama in next weeks second presidential debate.
He can’t afford to lay another egg.
I suspect he will. He doesn’t want the job.
I think and I have said before, in his eyes 4 years are enough.
What do you think?
joe Biden was condesending arrogent and came off looking like a jerk and with all his laughing and head shaking and his malarky moment which I do beleive was a gaffe. I never liked that racist jerk anyways.
Women hated the way Biden behaved.
Excellent comment!
My comment isn’t here… turning all Dean S on me now hey?
weird it just appeared, sorry
I have no clue how it appeared unless you entered it on Facebook.
Thanks for making the discussion lively!
Nope hadn’t been near a computer for awhile. I publish everything. Sorry for taking so long.

I agree and when people watch this stuff I think they gotta ask themselves if something happened to the President,who would make the best replacement?
I can’t imagine Biden on the world stage acting like that. Can you imagine that performance in the middle east?
BAHAHAHAHA Thanks for the Friday morning chuckle….
My pleasure!
Latest update is Ryan 49% – Biden 43%.
Obama is a left wing idealist. The greatest problem the left have is dealing with reality, a great part of which is human nature being what it is. Indeed, this is a problem for anyone wrapped up in an ideology, right or left. Thus, he is, as you say, disillusioned.
Conversely, Harper is a realist, and thus he is necessarily pragmatic, as does any successful leader have to be. I have often said that ideology requires twisting the world into knots in order to make the written word, so to speak, work. The real world will not accommodate narrow ideologies…of any kind!
Romney, near as I can tell, is a pragmatist and realist, which is why he has been successful in turning companies around. Thus, he is best suited to deal with America’s current financial and economic mess.
People tire quickly of pie-in-the-sky speeches and bankrupt promises spoken by people who clearly are more dedicated to their ideological whims and premises than are they to the realities of the real world about them.
Obama is in serious political trouble, and it only deepened tonight.
I am in total agreement.The thing is not many people realize that yet especially the democrat deputy campaign manager who actually believed it was a big win for Biden.
Your comment was great and well thought out.Thank you!
Your quoting of the stats indicates that US proficiency in basic maths is indeed poor.
As for left wing. I have been in N America for over a decade now and with the exception of a minute portion of the NDP have yet to meet a true left wing proponent. The choice here is between “corporate welfare/ dump on the people” and “corporate welfare/ who are the these people?”
But I guess if you take your talking points from people who take the people’s money and give it straight to their sponsors your pov is unsurprising; but your maths should be better.
It’s just quoting stats nothing more. You could make a case that the margin of error goes the pther way and it’s a blow out for Ryan.
I didn’t see it that way.
