Joe Biden said today he's going the 'rope a dope' route
at the debate tonight. The only that will work is if he's
the dope. Somehow, I think he has that well covered.
It will be interesting to hear him try and defend the Obama
record. Obama certainly couldn't in his debate.

I saw Stephanie Cutter, the Obama spokes-witch, on
Bret Baier. He stategy is just to keep on talking and
talking when asked a question, no matter how many
times she's interrupted. Just talk out the clock with
her mindless blather. Does anybody over the age of
11 actually fall for this talking points crap?

Rope a dope in politics means to let your
opponent underestimate you and then
rope him in. Biden is already the dope, he
doesn't have to pretend. If he's left to
run his mouth, he always sticks his foot
in it.

Sorry Nareed, don't listen to Bob. Rope-a-Dope is something that Muhammad Ali did to George Foreman in a fight in the 70's. Here's a link if you have any interest in pursuing it further. Basically Ali took a lot of punishment in the early rounds to wear out Foreman so that Foreman wouldn't be as sharp in the later rounds. It worked.Quote: NareedWhy would the dope need a rope?

I saw Sarah palin talking about her debate with Biden.
If you remember, Biden didn't win, it was a draw. The
Left painted Palin as a low grade moron (and still does)
and Biden couldn't beat her?
Think about it.

Whats with Biden's face when Ryan is speaking? He frowns,
he smirks, he smiles, he covers his mouth with his hands,
he looks like a nut case on drugs.
Edit: My god, Biden is tripping out. Throwing back
his head laughing, folding hios arms and smirking,
laughing and shaking his head. He looks like a Batman

I love how for the last half hour Ryan is the only one offering any kind of change... while all Biden does is criticize... yet Ryan is the one getting berated by the moderator.
Biden is arguing like I do, "I'm right, trust me." I can't remember the last number or statistic he gave. Admittedly though, he's holding his own much better than Obama did. I think this is going to come down to a partisan stalemate.

Biden got off to a good start when she asked about
the fiasco in Libya and Biden totally ignored the
question and went off on a rant about Iraq. Frankly,
a third of the time I have no idea what Biden is
talking about. His rant about Syria bordered on
babbling.

No reason to. your tv must not be working right. Ryan is articulate and has offered specific info on his answers.
I tend to agree with Biden that Syria would be a nightmare in a military sense, but come on and offer a solution rather than try to get Ryan to say we should send in troops.

At the end of the day, this debate means nothing and turnout will be the key and as much as I hate to say it, the liberals will get everyone they need to out by whatever means needed. Too many people willing to fall for stories about them losing something they are currently getting.

So far 3 talking heads agree with me that Biden's

wondered if something was wrong with him. I've

with this.
If you don't think this matters, think again. Remember
Al Gore sighing all the time? Remember Bush Sr
looking at his watch every 2 min? This is huge, its
all anybody will be talking about tomorrow.

Biden interupted Ryan 81 times. He let Ryan
talk for about 35 sec and jumped in. When
the mod warned him, he swore Ryan had
gone over his 2min already. Obviously he
has senior problems.. There's already a
3min video of nothing but Biden and his
laughing and mugging and smirking.
This stuff matters. On the radio, Nixon
wiped the carpet with Kennedy in 1960.
On TV, he sweated and smirked his way
to a huge loss.
