Vice President Joe Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times in a 90-minute debate with rival Paul Ryan, while CNN reported that women preferred Ryan.
“FACT: Final Count: Biden interrupted 82 times during the entire debate,” the RNC’s Joe Pounder tweeted after the debate. CNN’s Gloria Berger said that she would have liked Biden to show less “condescension” and “eye-rolling.”

Tonight at 9:00pm Eastern the Vice-Presidential candidates will square off and debate.
The debate is being carried on most cable news outlets. CSPAN is a great source because they skip the silly punditry talking points and just broadcast.
This is good for a chuckle. Remember our discussion thread about the Pro-Obama SuperPac pulling out of Ohio? Well, the public polling is confirming why. Mitt Romney winning in Ohio.
Keep in mind, this poll is D+9 – Giving 9% turnout advantage to Obama and yet Romney still wins the poll.
OHIO – The good news in today’s ARG poll of Ohio is not that Romney’s leading 48-47%, it’s that the party ID breakdown doesn’t reflect anything nearing reality, D+9. There’s just no way Democrats will enjoy a nine-point turnout advantage over Romney in Ohio. But in order to believe Romney’s only up by one, that’s exactly what you have to assume. […]
The poll also shows Romney is also winning Independents by a full 20 points, 57-37%.
Romney’s winning men by four points, 50-46%, and only losing women by three, 48-45%. (more)
Insufferably ridiculous reporters searching for “gotcha” phrases – Michigan TV station’s reporter asks Ryan, “Does this country have a gun problem?’
The GOP vice presidential candidate responds that “this country has a crime problem.” When the reporter asks for clarification, Ryan explains that “good, strong gun laws” are currently on the books, “but we have to make sure we enforce our laws.” He goes on to clarify:
“We have lots of laws that aren’t being properly enforced. We need to make sure we enforce these laws. But the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society. That’s what charities, and civic groups, and churches do to help one another make sure that they can realize the value in one another.”
ABC 12’s reporter then offers a somewhat odd retort, asking, “And you can do all that by cutting taxes? By…with a big tax cut?” (more…)
Remember, this is only just barely beginning to outline the FACTUAL TRUTHS. Pew is a Dem leaning polling outfit which still oversamples Democrats in order to favor Obama in their analysis. Generally Pew oversamples with D+6 to D+8 so add those figures to their reports and you get a more likely reality of Romney 50/51 – Obama 44/43.
This confirms why the Obama Superpac has pulled out of Florida and Wisconsin while focusing on Pennsylvania, Nevada, Ohio and now Michigan. Romney has virtually wiped out Obama’s lead in Michigan, watch for the negative ads to hit the airwaves there soon. Of course all of this just means the OFA organization is increasing the burn rate of their campaign contributions exponentially.
PEW – Coming out of the debate, Mitt Romney’s personal image has improved. His favorable rating has hit 50% among registered voters for the first time in Pew Research Center surveys and has risen five points since September. At the same time, Obama’s personal favorability rating has fallen from 55% to 49%. (more…)
WASHINGTON – With just about a month until Election Day, Vice President Joe Biden is in the middle of taking nearly a week off the campaign trail. He will return to doing campaign events on Thursday, when he will debate Rep. Paul Ryan in the vice presidential debate.
On Friday, October 5, according to the White House, Biden spent the day working. In the morning, he was scheduled to attend the presidential daily briefing in the Oval Office, with President Obama. That afternoon Biden was to “meet with senior advisors,” according to the White House. […] (more…)
Over 12,000 people turned out in Port St. Lucie for Mitt & Ann Romney who were introduced by Congressman Allen West.

(Hat Tip BFH@iOTW) Local Arizona radio station caller who exemplifies the PrObama mentality. Begins talking about the clintonesque “it takes a village” concept to parenting, because she is the “cool mom” on the block who talks to other parents’ kids (9 years old) about sex n stuff….
…. then the conversation turns to her own family lifestyle and her six children. Once the conversation turns to individual responsibility it rockets downhill from there.
This really is a fair representation of the 47% Mitt Romney was describing in his speech. No concept of personal consequence…. instead, it is all about avoidance as such.
….that the month before the election the Unemployment Rate, presented by the ideologically aligned Dept. Of Labor, just happens to drop below 8%.
25 of the best bi-partisan economic minds in the nation, independently, all predicted and got the exact number of predicted newly-employed workers correct at 114,000.
But simultaneously, every single one, all twenty five, independently, calculated and predicted the unemployment rate wrong for the first time in history? (more…)
