1. Grinning like a Cheshire Cat seems inappropriate given the gravity of the topics. IMHO

2. Ryan is the only adult in this debate. Biden is as usual playing the fool.

3. Dead wife and daughter one second, to laughing the next. Biden is creepy.

4. Why doe Joe Biden keep smiling like a Cheshire Cat? He is embarrassing himself and his party. He is in way over his head.

5. Ryan should say, “laugh if you want but even if you think it’s funny, this is serious and you should be ashamed of yourself for laughing”.

6. Didn’t AARP say they were not being partisan?

7. It would be interesting if a political science student went back and determined the percentage of time that Biden was smiling. I would estimate it at somewhere between 40% to 60%.
   Hey Joe, this is supposed to be a discussion about the future of the United States of America, not a visit to a local comedy club. You putz!!!

8. I thought the AARP told Obama and Biden to stop saying they approve of their plan.

9. Amen to that, Frank.

10. As soon as Biden speaks the independents flatline.
    Ha ha Biden asked “who are you going to trust?” As soon as he said himself the scores plummeted.

11. Biden just came right out and said that he doesn’t believe in the market returning better results than the government keeping the money. He’s UNBELIEVABLE!!!

12. Biden is on the edge of exploding. If Ryan could just annoy him the right way, he’ll have a very public blow-up.

13. If Viagra need a guy with a shit eatin grin,hire Biden

14. Biden is blowing enough smoke and sound bites for the media to spin it for him.

15. &%#@* Biden……stop laughing!!!! Really what an idiot.

16. Joe’s time/space gear just broke…

17. This is downright surreal.

18. Biden almost melted down.

19. Ryan is better than Romney!

20. Is 4064 hundred dollars a year a lot?

21. Biden is much better than Obama. Probably because of the fact that he has more experience and is more of a battler than messiah-type.
    He’s full of crap on his talking points though and should this debate ever get into a real discussion that moves off of talking points he’s dead. Unfortunately the format really doesn’t lend itself to that.

22. Ryan just complimented Harper’s Canada – Yeah!

23. Does anyone believe a single thing Biden says?

24. Oh, yes. Ryan is killing here. Perfect.

25. I’m enjoying Iowahawks tweets on the debate..making it tolerable.

26. Laughing Gas.

27. I can’t believe Biden was within a step of being POTUS. Ryan talking about bi-partisanahip and idiot Biden laughing. Wow.

28. Biden is a disgrace.

29. I would like to wipe that moronic smile off idiot Biden’s face. The idiot is allowed to constantly interrupt.

30. Biden is smiling and laughing way too much
    way way too much
    he looks like a mentally retarded person

31. “Oh, now you’re Jack Kennedy!” Cackling old fool has lost it.

32. Biden is losing it.

33. Joe Biden = VP Interruptus

34. He had 6 days practicing for this.
    He is scary.

35. Biden laughing AGAIN when Ryan talks about bi-partisanship. I can’t take Biden anymore. He is…….stupid. Thats all I’ve got.

36. Biden may be coming off looking like a grinning idiot, but I doubt Ryan’s changed a single democratic voter. They don’t think or listen.
    Wish it were otherwise.
    Still time for a kill shot though….

37. Unfortunately Biden is just being very in professional , he keeps interrupting like a grade 3 kid.
    I am surprised he is not trying to cover Ryan’s mouth while he is talking …while screaming NO NO NO NO NOT TRUEEE!
    Mostly in a helicopter ,sometimes in a vehicle…lol
    Well thanks for telling us that joe!!!

39. She cuts off Ryan every time it gets real…that said…Ryan is losing the advantage…

40. You know he was groping for “I knew Jack Kennedy, and you sir…” but his brain isn’t working quite right.
    Bin Laden! Shot!

41. Biden is acting like an arrogant prick.
    The moderator is giving Biden free rein while Ryan tries to make his point.
    IMHO.

42. I saw Afstan in a vehicle, sometimes in a vehicle…….duuuurrrrrrrr!!!!

43. Sad to say but so far Binden is the hands down winner – the one about Ryan writing him personally to get some stimulous pork for buddies was a kill shot.

44. Biden favoured partitioning of Iraq into three and bugging out before the surge – Ryan should remind viewers of that.

45. I think they are both losers if that’s possible!!

46. Angry Joe now arguing with the moderator.

47. Ryan is losing the momentum….

48. Yeah Ryan needs to scrounge up some steam.

49. …rope-a-dope…eh?

50. Ryan should be a little less polite.
