Krauthammer Nails the Outcome of the VP Debate in One Simple Statement
Immediately after the vice presidential debate on Thursday night, Fox News political analyst Charles Krauthammer skewered Vice President Joe Biden for being “disrespectful” to Republican Paul Ryan throughout the night with his incessant smirking and interrupting.
Krauthammer was able to sum up the debate with one simple statement:
“If you read the transcript, I think it’s dead even. If you heard it on radio, Biden won. If you watched it on television, he lost.”
“In the transcript, if you just look at the raw arguments, I think it was even because each side had points to make, it made them. I think on balance, not one side was stronger than the other,” Krauthammer explained.
If you heard it on radio, he said Biden would have sounded “aggressive, forceful – he was sort of on the attack all the time.“ He said Ryan reacted with ”excessive deference” and allowed himself to be cut off.
On Biden’s performance on television, Krauthammer said the vice president was “so disrespectful.”
“It was sort of almost unprecedented and hugely condescending. I think that undid the force of his arguments,” he added.

I found Biden’s behavior not only extremely disrespectful and unpresidential, but also very distracting. I heard this morning that Biden interrupted Ryan 81 TIMES! The moderator did not do a good job reining in Joe and it was actually a disservice to viewers who really wanted to hear both men speak.

Just more disrespect coming from the number 2 man on the left.

My wife shares your opinion.
If she could have gotten through the screen, she would have scratched Biden’s eyes out and then have gone after the moderator, both for the constant interruptions.
She compared it to The View, everyone talking at the same time.
Biden really turned off the conservative women out there, it is obvious reading their comments across the net.

What’s really sad (on a personal level–and that’s all). I’ll bet ol Joe thought he was just ALL THAT while the debate was going on. How did we possibly get such a horrible character as VP?

Ya know that was a rhetorical question, AFVET. I may be blonde but I’m not BLONDE. LOL.
Well, I guess we can thank old Joe for helping out our cause in his usual bumbling way. This debate did make a difference. Shouldn’t have really. But it sure did.

I have a very special place in my heart for intelligent blondes.
Obama’s judgement continues to plague him.
Hopefully it will not plague US to much longer.

Biden did a great job in moving a large segment of the Women’s Vote to the Romney Column. I knew old Joe was good for something.
