Vice Presidential Debate

After last week’s presidential debate all the media unanimously concluded: Romney’s

appearance was surprisingly good and strong showing and that if the democrats want to keep their ticket up and running they need to change their strategy and they need to change it fast.

The vice presidential debate was anticipated and announced like a political version of

Survival. Who will win the heart of the American society and who will be voted off from

the “island”?

Hours before the vice presidential debate countdown, spotlights were on both of the vice

presidential candidates. Everyone wondering if Ryan will manage to build on the momentum which was created by Mitt Romney or will Biden manage to compensate for Barack Obama’s passive performance?

The media placed the highest amount of pressure upon the Biden’s back. Democrats needed

to win this fight badly. Biden had to be assertive without being nasty and make the case

where they were, where they are now and where they are going.

Ryan on the other hand had the better platform but still needs to defend and justify Mitt

Romney’s flip-flopping about on abortion issues and his use of little less-than-factual data.

The Debate started and as time passed the only sound that could be heard, was the sound of

the Republican advantage flushing down the drain. Biden managed to show the spark that

Barack Obama lacked last week. He was highly critical, assertive, often smiling to show his

disbelief in what Ryan way saying and showed that if the Republicans want to fight, he will

give them a fight.

The Media is now divided as to whether Biden’s behavior was a bit too much or whether he

provided that passion which Obama did not bring in the last debate for which he was highly

criticized.

Hence, the real question is, when you are getting hit by a bully, should you be blamed for

hitting him back?
