I watched some of the vice-presidential debate and Paul Ryan looks like Joe Biden's grandson.

I think Biden was overcompensating for Obama's lackadaisical performance in the first debate.

I think Ryan played it right, it had a subtle message that he respected his elders with the subtext he's not one to worry about all the benefits are safe.
Biden looked crazy. Oh and they both lied about almost everything. And were insane enough to think we have a choice between these clowns.

Hillary is taking the blame.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/15/us/clinto ... index.html
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm over the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she's responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.

"I take responsibility," Clinton told CNN in an interview while on a visit to Peru. "I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."

Remember that it says this which is probably obvious:
In the stronger economies of Northern and Western Europe, most people say they’re doing fine, while more people are suffering than thriving in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Greece.

In Spain and Greece in particular, sentiments have gotten steadily worse since 2008

Once Romney steadies the USA economy and brings unemployment down to under 7% within 2 years the European mess will benefit as well by knowing their major partner is finally on the right track.

Candy Crowley was awful. She had no business being a moderator after her comments about Ryan instant disqualification in my book.

I don't think either was on their game. I think Obama was probably hurt by the debate in image alone.

The entire setup and platform of a town hall is a joke. Crow-ley was dreadful. How did Oh-bama know she had a transcript already of his rose garden statement on the Libya debacle? Debate was even but Oh-bama was NOT liked by Independents on both Fox and MSNBC, of all places, so it worked out fine for Romney. Oh-bama looks worse each week now and desperate and liberal spin doctors cannot be listened to any longer. I shut them off and watch sports instead now. Monday Romney goes after little O on foreign policy failures and that's enough of this already. The real poll is November 6 2012 :!:

Glenn Greenwald on the debates and how they mirror the failings of American "democracy".

He has a point.
the two political parties in the 1990s joined forces to wrest control over the presidential debates away from the independent League of Women Voters, which had long resisted the parties' efforts to shield their presidential candidates from genuine surprise or challenge. Now run by the party-controlled Commission on Presidential Debates, these rituals are designed to do little more than " eliminate spontaneity" and "exclude all viable third-party voices".
