Romney-Ryan Debate - Chambersburg, PA

yes! A brilliant choice. Obama can no longer hide behind his deceitful super packs that put out lies. Obama is now forced to talk about the issues. Ryan is a brilliant young man. He will make a great VP and a great president in 2020!

Hah!

"Super Packs"

Conservative stupidity knows NO bounds!!!

Yes! A terrific choice ... for Obama. Romney just made Obama's re-election a little easier; maybe a lot easier.

Obama now has a specific Republican congressman he can point to when explaining how the do-nothing congress has undermined the recovery. And, while Romney has been trying to distance himself from Ryan's extremist budget (even going so far as pretending he has his own budget plan), now he can't avoid it.

How, exactly, does the Ryan choice "force Obama to talk about issues"??

I heard his speech in Iowa - standard politcal boilerplate, fearmongering, nonsense.

I get more excited over clipping my toenails than I am about this election.

I think everyone knows - even conservatives - that Obama won so decisively in 2008, that we effectively elected him to two terms.

So far, this is a repeat of 2008.

A GOP elite candidate, who is not even popular in his own party, backed by a more likeable, charismatic, but inexperienced VP candidate...sound familiar?

Have you noticed the US map? It's starting to turn green. Just a few specks of the other color.

Green means they support Ryan.

Green means they support Ryan.

No, green means they are happy that Romney picked Ryan. Democrats are VERY happy with the choice, but not because we support Ryan! LOL!

If only you could think logically. You'd embarrass yourself much less often.

like his views

It's amazing. Just not so long ago Democrates were praising Ryan (including the President) and now that he's the VP pick they're suddenly backtracking, bashing and attacking him; no doubt regretting their kind words from what they were calling a honest, decent, hardworking man those same comments are showing dishonesty and their true colors.

but inexperienced VP candidate? Are you saying that a community organizer has more experience then a US Rep.? I hope not.
At least make it about the issues and not about who has more experience then the next.

Nobody is attacking Ryan himself. We are attacking his irresponsible and reckless economic plan and his extremist political ideology. Big difference.

As if Barack Obama didn't run for office as a congressman, just like Ryan.

At least make it about an HONEST comparison.

Romney/Ryan are now ahead in Colorado and closing the gap in Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina according to the new CBS/NYT/Quinnipiac poll.
There has not been a poll in Florida since Aug 1, before Romney picked Ryan.

Also according to the new Zogby poll Romney has gained ground with young people, up to 41%.

So it looks like Ryan was a smart choice.

A very smart choice ... for Democrats.

Reaction to Ryan as V.P. Pick Among Least Positive Historically

PRINCETON, NJ -- Four in 10 Americans rate Mitt Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate as either "excellent" or "pretty good," while 42% call the choice "only fair" or "poor." This even division is among the least positive reactions to a vice presidential choice Gallup has recorded in recent elections. Only George H.W. Bush's selection of Dan Quayle in 1988 generated a higher negative response, although it also generated higher positives.
...
Most Voters Say Ryan Won't Affect Their Vote in November

Ryan's direct impact on the ticket is only slightly positive, with 17% of Americans saying his selection makes them more likely to support Romney and 12% less likely to support him, while 66% say it will not affect their vote.

This is for everyone else. I do not respond to "Dan the Man" postings because he is incapable of any rational debate without condescending remarks, name calling, insults or just trying to "1Up" everyone to make himself feel good. When opposing views happen he will always fall to racial bias, hypocrisy (double standards), false accusation, distortion of the facts, distraction of the main topic, false claims of racism or trying to make people out to be liars to spread his “Truth”. Please note how he has chased every opposing view from this forum who stand on both sides of a debate, he only wants to hear his own lies and because of his ignorance I will not respond to him with anything more than this posting I encourage you to do the same and perhaps we can bring back civility to this forum.

Thought he should pick a person that would help win a strategic state. But I think Ryan is an awesome pick since he can help win all states. The "greatest" generation will like becuase they will believe that it is better to make the fixes now than wait until its too late
