Who will win? What will play worse -- the dumb stuff Biden says accidentally or the misleading stuff Ryan says intentionally? There's only one way to find out, and that's to watch the media coverage after the debates! But while you're waiting for that, you may as well tune into the actual debate itself.

Two more Presidential debates coming up -- the Town Hall debate on October 16th, and the foreign policy debate on October 22nd, both featuring Obama and Romney! This is your one and only chance to see Biden and Ryan slug it out! It may be your last chance to see Joe Biden debate ever, because let's face it, he's 69. So check it out!

Wonder how much BS Ryan will spew. Let's see what the fact checkers are left with after this one! I get the feeling that Ryan will win, but it will be a similar, say whatever needs to be said that sounds best sort of affair.

Maybe Biden will have the balls to call Ryan out.

Biden's got nothing to lose, since the GOP has basically convinced themselves he's a complete idiot, so I hope he calls out the inevitably hugely misleading shit Ryan will be saying.
 
One of the most blatantly unqualified Vice Presidents in the history of the world versus possibly one of the top ten most intelligent persons in Washington, DC? Yea, I'm going to choose the guy who asked a crippled man to stand up. : /

Ryan could be a tough challenger, but I expect him to lie more than Romney did last week. If Biden will call out Ryan's bullshit, this should be a piece of cake.

Biden was just checking if his Jesus powers had kicked in yet.

Stop trolling, you're no PD. Besides everyone loves Biden's gaffes. It's like he's trying to outdo Prince Phillip except he's more lovable.

WHAT?? How can you say that? Golly, you've got me all fired up!!!!!
 
I have to think Joe has really been looking forward to this. He had to take it easy in '08, Ryan has done nothing but lie and deceive since he was added to the ticket, and he needs a strong performance after the debate last week.

I also feel there is a high chance that Joe literally 'sons' Ryan at some point.

I'd only have suggested one modification for the thread title:

Vice-Presidential Debate |OT| The Big F$@*ing Deal vs. The Guy Who's Totally Randy for Rand


Also, sad to say but Uncle Joe's gonna be fucked.

Biden is going to knock it out of the park.

He had years of "lol dumb old uncle Joe" sort of put downs. From both sides. How better to show everyone wrong by doing what Obama couldn't do himself last week?

Biden will have the advantage Romney had this time and Sarah Palin had last time. Beating up too hard on him will play like beating up on someone's grandpa. So Ryan will have to play softball.

That said, I find it sad that the implication in the OP is that it will play better for Ryan if he's honest than if he lies, since his lies seem more palatable than his truths.

That's actually a good point. The media may have stars in their eyes for the right wing boy genius, but they also seem to love good theatrics. As long as Joe doesn't say anything too gaffe-y, he should probably be good.
