The Vice Presidential Debate of 2012: How Much Does it Matter?

Who cares? 2 underlings spouting off with the same lies their bosses are spittin' out.

It'll be GREATLY entertaining to watch the lawyer/politician who got busted for plagarism call Ryan a liar.

These Sesame Street characters the Dems elevate are just plain funny!

These are unusual times, this VP debate is very important

since when has it not matter??? It matters so much that even other country pay attention to our elections maybe even more so then good sum of Americans

It won't convert anyone, but it could turn someone off.

to me

Amen Sister

Historically, vice presidential debates mean little or nothing in the long run, but this one should be fun. Paul Ryan has facts and numbers on his side but Biden has been doing this stuff since 1973 and is no push over like Barry. The way this past 4 years has been, economically, Biden should have a hard time defending this administration. Those who think that Biden is a dufass who doesn't know anything may be very surprised. I hope Ryan doesn't underestimate the situation...

If I had been asked this question before the first debate I would have had a different answer, however I watched the debate and found myself glued to it. I was so impressed with Romney, I thought he was intelligent, strong, and very well prepared. Obama keeps trying to say Romney won't tell his policies, I took it he has plans but he is always open to get opinions from both sides. Obama talked that way before he was elected. But once he got in office he divided the democrats and republicans more then anyone ever has, simply by his mouth. He also divided the country more then anyone ever has with his racial comments. He has a plan for this country that is not the way I would want it to go. He has said he's christian but he also has shown his real feelings of being Islam. His wedding ring is for the Islam faith. In America you are free to choose what ever Religion you want, but our President whole heartily is Islam, they want to take over America. Tonight we will be watching Biden and Ryan. Anxious to see how it goes.

I don't really care what either of them have to say although I know with Biden in the mix it should be entertaining LOL!

A VP could potentially end up being president should the president not be able to complete his/her term.

Obama/ Romney debate counts for more definitely.

I think only a little, but it might be fun to watch...Politicians verbally scuffling, in a controlled environment, on camera? Pass the popcorn, pls.

"A lot". Why? If Romney meets his demise, this is the person that will be our President.

In the past VP debates were mildly interesting, but this year like 2008 the stakes are so high and so many people are so engaged in the election...The turn out is going to be massive, although some of Obama's support will be diminished, by how much, I'm not sure...but I know the Hope-change thing didn't work out and most rational people know the hope-change thing didn't work out!!!

its just a charade anyway~

Biden is a heart beat away from becoming President..scarey thought

? A heartbeat?--That sounds like the latest Fox network mantra/over-the-air-chant, hoping it will work like hypnosis on their viewing public. Not Buying It.

Johnson became Pres when Kennedy was killed. It's a fact.

...are you saying Romney could/ is going to get nailed in the head like Kennedy? Because that's how this reads. Is that what you meant to say?

OBAMA GETS HIT IN THE HEAD>>>>>BIDEN REPLACES HIM....Where did you go to school?

Sorry, my mistake! I went to a good school, but there is no accounting for mis-reading your original post--sorry. My apologies.

All I did was state a fact of history. Please don't try to put words in my mouth that aren't there. Thanks.

It show that Neither Obama NOR Biden ever belonged this high in any government!

Tonight's debate....

Cute. The blackboard is behind the wrong guy.

LOL Please tell me you don't actually favor Biden.

Let's just say I'm looking forward to another excuse to eat popcorn and watch these two US Senate rivals who have Both been accused of being lug-nuts in suits duel it out on National Primetime television--America is Wonderful. HD makes it even better, minute expression changes that might indicate a zinger hit home show up so much better. Call me bad, It's OK...if the Network could have stripped them down to their boxers and put them in a ring, they would have done it! Debates have taken on a side-show quality that's a bit unbecoming, but frightfully entertaining. Like Sonny and Cher.

Its funny because there is nothing but nonsensical gibberish on the blackboard. much like his budget plan

It's like professional wrestling. It's all for show.

Here is the answer ....

It doesn't matter all at. Listen very carefully my sheeple. They will be asked and will discuss the same crap we have heard for decades!!! The problem isn't them. It is you for continuing to allow these bastards to manipulate your dumbed down butts!

You sheeple are being shackled with a debt you did not create! DISGUSTING!!!

folks already know who they're voting for. this debate is for entertainment purposes only. Paul Ryan vs. Joe (gaff-king) Biden. Should be fun.

Did you like the options? I didn't much care for any of them, in fact, I thought this question was: "Who owns the blame for our troubles?"

Typically, VP debates don't account for too much. This election is different. The President's performance on Oct. 3rd has been the single worst debate performance in modern history, the size of the Romney bounce in the polls has never been seen before. Unfortunately for the Obama team, their go-to guy to get them out of the tailspin is Joe Biden.

Yep, here comes that drunk Uncle, Bumbling Joe.....

We need facts, honesty, integrity and the truth. We need to know the intentions of BOTH SIDES.

OK RYAN, HOLD BIDEN DOWN AND PULL THE MASK OFF, SHOW THE WORLD HE IS WHAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN...A BAFFFFOOOOONNNNNNN

It makes a great deal of difference in the vote for the Presidency, and alot of people don't know enough about Ryan yet. I know that Biden will be prepared, but I think that Ryan will best him.

I've already heard both Biden and Ryan speak, when I watched both conventions. I'm not interested in hearing Ryan speak anymore.

It matters a lot to me, I don't really hate Obama, id say I feel average towards him, I never liked Biden though, and I don't know much about Ryan so it could change my mind on a few things for sure.
