U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) (R) participate in the vice presidential debate as moderator Martha Raddatz looks on at Centre College Thursday (October 11) in Danville, Kentucky. This is the second of four debates during the presidential election season and the only debate between the vice presidential candidates before the closely-contested election November 6.
Topics of discussion were vast and included many questions about foreign policy, the economy and even women’s health. View the full debate below and look out for the next Presidential Debate next week.


















Biden clearly won the debate!

Truly one of the greatest debate in history. Biden was factual and Ryan was just imprecise with everything he was gabbing out. It is clear who the winner is here and that’s why I will be voting the same. I”m baffled at the fact Ryan pretended to be with the middle-class, when in the beginning he was totally against us. Romney/Ryan think they’re running game but the only person losing is them with all their guile and deceit! #Obama2012
There were some really great moments, I learned quite a bit and was pleased to hear JB speak so fluidly on this issue.
Biden tapped that a**! He’s a great debater and was able to factually back up every counter to Ryan. Ryan NEVER answered the question and never laid out a clear plan…cause they don’t have one. I understand wanting bipartisan efforts, but you’ve got to have a jumping off point/POV.
Funny how the media guys are saying the debate is a draw.
The “debate” (i.e. recital) was a draw. Both of these idiots were stuttering more than Porky Pig…..like bad actors flubbing their lines.
@Judah, it must be exhausting for you being so negative all the time.
@ GBW
My mind is inexhaustible. “Negativity” is subjective. I don’t have to follow behind a 70 year old racist caucasian man like Joe Biden in hopes that he will save me from something that is incontrovertible.
I thought he was on point. That’s how you defend your record. Hopefully O can come thru with the same conviction next week or this thing is in the bag.
I already knew Romney/Ryan was lying from the start. How can people complain about Biden being “aggressive” and “rude” when last week Romney was acting the same way?
I prefer Obama/Biden over Romney/Ryan anyday.
Romney/Ryan is way too sneaky.
Biden dominated. Obama take note.
Obama/Biden 2012!!!
Biden called Ryan out on asking for Federal Government help while championing cuts. People was calling Biden “out” (republicans) but last week Romney was rude to Obama and the moderator.
You can clearly see Biden won, hands down……..
You know you’ve lost when your caught making excuses. So we know Biden won.
Biden won this one. The only reason news outlets are saying it’s a draw is because Jim Lehrer left much to be desired of a moderator at the Presidential debates, and Raddatz brought that quality to this debate, even calling the other candidates bluff on certain issues. I think her skill as a moderator overshadowed either candidates performance, because now you have NPR saying that She won. But if you want to be technical, Biden did win because Independent fact-checkers are really getting into Ryan’s statements.
The media is really trying hard to spin Biden as being “too much.” It is OBVIOUS that Biden not only won the debate, but also, Ryan is in WAY over his head.
This debate was all around GREAT!!! All around both Biden and Ryan are better at this than Obama and Romney. Biden was agressive, but it was not defensive agression it was passionate agression and there is a difference. Romney was very defensive and talked over the President and the moderator did not shut him down the way Martha did!! I loved her as a moderator!
I never saw any human drink as much water in an hr as “my friend” Ryan did. He needed a water hose instead. lol. Joe Beezey won clearly. Barack needs to finish it off the next 2 rounds. That was awesome.!!
Yes I aree with you lol about your statement that Ryan needed a hose. Yes Biden Won that debate
More than hands down or frosted tumblers up!!!!!!! Lyin Ryan Never had a chance !
That man must have one hell of a bladder!
Watching Ryan talk last night was like having someone sit there and make up rumours in ur face……. WHAT WAS THAT?
Give it up, gotdamn, give it up gotdamn, GIVE IT UP!!!
Joe brought those receipts!
LOL! AGREED!
The debate was very interesting last night. It really annoys me how the media is acting as if Biden was out of line, however when Romney was acting the same way he was seen as a winner or worthy competitor.
EXACTLY!!! LET’S MAKE SURE WE PROVE THEM WRONG ON NOV 6, BY VOTING VS POSTING!! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Biden did a great job at using factual evidence to back up his claims, and this is what makes a stronger argument. I don’t think Ryan did an awful job debating but due to his lack of experience and based on his actions and many contradictory claims he made , Biden was the clear winner! AND find it funny that many people Romney/ryan supporters want to label Biden for being “rude” being of his aggressive style, but when Romney is aggressive and interupts the moderator on every question asked then he’s the winner. Some of the people in this country are hilarious!
These are starting to become more like American Idol. Voting is for the poor.
Exactly….just like the military is for the poor.
You two are on point. When was the last time you seen a Bentley parked outside of these places that people vote in?
Pure ignorance.
@ RAZER
As I’m sure you know, the voting process is meant to just keep the sheep believing that they have a voice so that they won’t rebel. These “debates” are literally just arguments between two people volleying back and forth how incompetent the other party is. The military is meant to give the sheep a place to go so that they will lower their own population and accrue the natural resources that the elite need.
@Judah..Now you know that’s not true.. Vote for Obama!! He will save all the lil crack babies,free Pookie and dem from prison and have the streets paved with foodstamps.
@INDIGO
LOL I wonder if Obama will “Free Lil’ Boosie” when he gets out of office lol.

Last night after the debate I decided to get a few friends together on BlogTalk at the last minute and the discussion was simply awesome! Here is the link to it that I uploaded to YouTube and invite everyone to chime in on our shows as we lead up to the elections and beyond! This was VERY informative, opinionated and entertaining! Enjoy:

Biden represented, as always.
What have Democrats done to improve the lives of African Americans? Serious question. AA’s overwhelmingly support and have supported the Democratic Party for a while now, my question is, why? What do they promise you? After all these years, as African Americans, how have you progressed socially, educationally, economically etc..?
I think many AA’s would be shocked if they read America’s political party history. The ideologies. Who is REALLY for you? Why do 90%+ of AA’s vote Democratic? No other “race” does this. It’s interesting to research.
Democrats have allowed black women to have children carelessly, while giving them money and other “funds” to continue doing so without shame and reprimands. That’s the reason why “black women” love Democrats. Don’t know why black men love them though.
you two are ignorant… Republicans will have you without a job and money for school. Look what Bush did to the economy.
@BETH
And look what Obama is doing to it now…stop being ignorant. Go stand out in line on that cold morning and vote for your god. Neither of the two fools are better than the other.
Obama has brought down unemploment to 7.8 the lowest its been in four years. The republicans throw peanuts at black people and call them animals. they don’t care about you
@Cheers…so “black women” are the only race out here “carelessly” having babies. Stop it, take a seat.
@Lisa
My first comment is in moderation, but just face it. The only reason you feel so comfortable having OOW children is because you know you will be rewarded afterward. You feel no shame pushing strollers down the street all willy nilly. Many of these government programs are given to the WRONG people. The people who really need it don’t even qualify. What a shame.
Biden did an ECXELLENT job. His position is to support the president and he had passion, focus and conviction and his facts were on point. He renewed my faith in the Obama campaign. Good job Joe!
I watched the 15-20 minutes of it I didn’t get anything from it , just seemed they were throwing jabs at each other, maybe if I tuned in from the beginning it would have been different. I don’t like the way Biden appeared to be a little irrated in his responses actually they both did I don’t was annoying to me.
Paul Ryan is a good snake oil salesman, he is no match for Mr. Joe Biden. Biden won on all levels in my opinion. Paul Ryan is a brown-noiser, and not a politician that cares for all people, only the rich.
Joe seems a little touched in the head. IDK-he’s unbalanced or unstable to me. And Ryan, well his personality is more like baby Romney, just a robot awaiting orders.
as Norman answered I’m dazzled that you can earn $4066 in one month on the internet. did you look at this link (Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/oYfJb
that judah character is just ignorant, probably a white person trying to get blacks not to vote
@ BIANCA
You caught me genius. Like the average black female, you’re so wise lmao…..
@Bianca – while I do not agree with all that Judah writes, he is far from ignorant. I just wish he wasn’t so anti black woman. We are not all bad Judah I swear!!
