It appears my decision to stop watching
the Vice Presidential debate after the first 15 minutes was correct
one.
Sampling the posts of those multitude
of bloggers, both liberal and conservative leaning, it looks like my
initial impression of how it was going to play out was right on.
Biden was condescending, rude, loud,
and willing to make accusations he knew were false or “inaccurate”.
Ryan was calm and collected, even when
chastising Biden for constantly interrupting him.
Biden blew his cool. Ryan did not.
Biden was playing to the Democrats who
would have voted for Obama in any case. Ryan was trying to sway
everyone else.
That's pretty much what I expected,
meaning I really didn't miss anything by not watching the rest of the
debate.
