The VP candidate debates are not going to go well for Biden.

[Alien Space Bats]

One of the most dispicable narratives of the 2008 campaign was that Sarah Palin was simultaniously a go for the throat, take no prisoners pitbull, and a poor poor woman who that mean Joe Biden made fun of!

Indeed, isn't it one of the prerogatives of U.S. Senators to be able to make mere Congressmen cry?

I imagine Joe will want to enjoy his moment of nostalgia.

Seriously, it will likely be a tough debate. That said, if Biden can trip up Ryan in such a way as to make him look inexperienced, especially in foreign or military affairs...

[Ashmoria]

true. they all almost stroked out when his spokeswoman said something nice about romneycare.

Did you see Coulter's rant?

yeah i did. poor thing.

i wonder if the ryan pick makes her feel any better since romney didnt fire his spokeswoman.

[Alien Space Bats]

Unless of course he fucks up and has to go back on the defensive.

"Congressman Ryan, will you release more than two years of your tax returns?"

So Romney's doubling down on his conservative credentials instead of trying for a VP choice that broadens his appeal. Granted, finding a good VP candidate with cross-party appeal in the Republican Party is hard nowadays, but I figured he would go for someone that can shore up his support in something other than white males.

Hard? No, it's not hard.

It's impossible.

There is no middle ground in America any more.

Not in the GOP, anyway. I expect there are a lot of voters that would love to disentangle fiscal conservatism from the mess that social conservatism has become, but the party faithful won't hear of it. You're either anti-gay and anti-regulation or you're not a Republican these days.

Going beyond that, I'd like to know what you think this choice says about Romney and the GOP. Did they dictate this choice to him or did he believe he was not getting his own base mobilized? Is Ryan intended to be the anchor to party while Romney tries to appeal to independents (laughable as that may be)? Is this choice a sign that Romney and his campaign are giving up on the rest of the voters in the country and trying to win on party votes alone?

I think it signals a further drift to the right and a bit of a gamble for the GOP in putting one of their young stars with Mitt. If he loses, Ryan is gonna fall hard and so will the Republicans that lean hard right.

Maybe Paul Ryan should start singing this for the election

Not the best singer.

And Obama is not doing this? At least doing it for his croneys... UAW and Solendra come to mind pretty quickly.

Solendra and UAW were bad decisions, Obama is not milking them for money.

Bush started the loans to Solyndra, and the million or so manufacturing jobs that the auto bailout saved would beg to differ in the case of the "UAW".

That is true but Obama increased our commitement.

Still, Solyndra failed because the Chinese government spent billions of dollars trying to defeat American solar companies, and The Republicans in Congress, instead of accepting the challenge set forth by the Chinese, used Solyndra's failure to take a shot at the President.

Ah, the new American Exceptionalism, we can't do the shit other countries do even if we helped them do it initially.

Did Romney really introduce Ryan as the next President of the United States?

Yes. However, Obama made the exact same mistake when introducing Joe Biden.

Given that most polls put Obama as winning, think not.

Certainly more chance of that happening than of Romney becoming President...

would prefer HERMAN CAIN? Rick Santorum or Ron Paul?

There is no chance of Obama winning.
