Who won the 2012 VP debate?

Paul Ryan

Joe Biden

Side Score: 2

I believe Ryan did, but I am biased against Biden. There was a report that the moderator fovored Biden. I also understand that Biden interrupted Ryan something like 82 times during the debate...I don't get it? Oh well, the popular vote is swinging Romney's way...but not the electoral vote yet.

Personally, I thought that the moderator was biased towards Biden, but not through any fault of her own, but because she did what she was supposed to and made sure that each candidate gave specifics, gave answers, and informed the viewers on the issues. For one of the few times in the entire candidacy season, I actually felt like I learnt a little more about both sides, and a big part of that was because Raddatz pushed both candidates hard (where Jim Lehrer did not). It just turned out that Biden did better with than than Ryan.

And yeah, I don't that that's unlikely. But, I never thought that Biden interrupted him because he wanted an advantage, or because he was being a dick, I just thought that Ryan made him angry because of the bullshit he was spewing (as Biden did too from time to time, I must acknowledge). As someone who has been in that situation many times, I found him very genuine in what he did, if rude, but I am fully aware that many - including yourself - disagree with me on that.

At the end of the day, this debate actually had wiggle room regarding the winner, but I do think that an unbiased judgement would probably say Biden, depending on the criteria of what you're looking for, that is.

I hate both these guys, but seriously, Biden just sat there and laughed the whole time, old bastards going senile.
