I could only spare a small amount of time to watch the Vice-Presidential debate. I thought Joe Biden, at least in the parts I saw, mopped the linoleum with Paul Ryan and made him look like an amateur who couldn't even explain his own proposals. Then again, I'm sure out there are at least a couple of Romney-Ryan boosters reading this who thought Ryan did the mopping. So let's just wait a few days and see if the polls budge enough to assume the debate was the cause. That's really all that matters in these things.
The parts I saw dovetailed with Fred Kaplan has to say about Ryan's view of foreign policy. I sure don't get that the Republican ticket connects a lot with reality…or that the folks who desperately want Obama out really care what Romney and Ryan say they'll do as long as it at least sounds like expunging the current administration.
