Will Paul Ryan admit to steroid use during tonight's #VPdebate? We shall see!Baratunde

Will Joe Biden acknowledge that he's a sexy motherfucka during tonight's #VPdebate? #doitjoeBaratunde

Zerlina is always a great source for political insights. 

I'm excited for Biden to call Ryan out for his anti-woman views. Biden the original author of the VAWA is perfect messenger!Zerlina Maxwell

Sometimes people talk to me, and I talk back to them. It's called "interactivity." Try it!

But we can all see the world the way we want to.

Ryan just owned Biden. @PaulRyanVP @MittRomney #LikeABossBraeden Dempsey

Then Biden said this: 
And I've never met two guys who're more down on America across the board. We're told everything's going bad. There are 5.2 million new jobs, private-sector jobs. We need more, but 5.2 million -- if they'd get out of the way, if they'd get out of the way and let us pass the tax cut for the middle class, make it permanent, if they get out of the way and pass the -- pass the jobs bill, if they get out of the way and let us allow 14 million people who are struggling to stay in their homes because their mortgages are upside down, but they never missed a mortgage payment, just get out of the way.

A great moment in debate history:

VP Biden on Paul Ryan: “He sent me 2 letters saying, ‘By the way, can you send me some stimulus money for companies here in WI?’”Obama 2012

FACT: Ryan slams the Recovery Act but asked for stimulus funds himself, including over $20 million for a Wisconsin energy company.TruthTeam2012

FACT: Multiple fact-checking groups called Romney’s attacks on Medicare "flat-out wrong" and "false line of attack."TruthTeam2012

The most important article I posted during the debate:

read this (or save for later). Tax cuts don't create jobs, according to the WALL STREET JOURNAL http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/09/14/report-tax-cuts-for-wealthy-linked-to-income-inequality/ #VPdebateBaratunde

"Do you have any specifics?" asks #ModeratorOfTheYear #VPdebateBaratunde

It did take a while to talk about half the U.S. population, as Mira pointed out.

Boom. Biden.

"Oh, NOW you're Jack Kennedy." #Awesome #VPdebateBaratunde

So Ryan is straight denying that Romney wants to increase defense spending? There's no shading this. That's dead wrong.Ezra Klein

. @Politifact: TRUE: Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would spend $2 trillion that the military hasn’t even asked for. http://bit.ly/VFD3zTTruthTeam2012

i propose spending ALL the money on defense. that should take care of that. #VPdebate #WithLibertyAndDronesForAllBaratunde

@MattNowak1 that might explain it. thank you #vpdebateBaratunde

war, war, war, war, war, defense contractor profits, war, war, war, war, janesville. #VPdebateBaratunde

Ryan spoke about his pending child like this:
You know, I think about 10 1/2 years ago, my wife Janna and I went to Mercy Hospital in Janesville where I was born, for our seven week ultrasound for our firstborn child, and we saw that heartbeat. A little baby was in the shape of a bean. And to this day, we have nicknamed our firstborn child Liza, "Bean." Now I believe that life begins at conception.

don't all late term fetuses look like beans? #VPdebate #itstightinthereBaratunde

In my frenzy of typographical engagement, I threw in "late-term" erroneously. Fortunately, reasonable people on Twitter were there to help correct me.

@baratunde no you fucking moron...embrios look like beans...not late term...lemme guess...obamaMamajo

@tigergalore thanks for the correction you fucking heinous person. Have a lovely fucking Friday! Bless your goddamned heart!Baratunde

Rep. Ryan has cast 60 anti-choice votes during his time in Congress. http://OFA.BO/opwXcR #DetailsMatterAdam Fetcher

RADDATZ: I want to go back to the abortion question here. If the Romney-Ryan ticket is elected, should those who believe that abortion should remain legal be worried?
RYAN: We don't think that unelected judges should make this decision; that people through their elected representatives in reaching a consensus in society through the democratic process should make this determination.

"we don't think that unelected judges should make this decision." ? So you don't believe in the supreme court, the constitution? #VPdebateBaratunde

Fun fact about the conflict-seeking GOP ticket:

I'm not kidding. Number of times Mitt Romney’s 59-point “Jobs plan” mentions veterans? ZERO. Share this: http://twitpic.com/b2y27u #DetailsMatterBrent Colburn

"we can't keep spending money we don't have" says man who voted for two unfunded wars. #VPdebate #factsmatterBaratunde

A lot of conservatives replied to me that Biden also voted for these wars. My main point in posting this was that Ryan (and his party and many in the media) fancies himself some sort of mathematical, budget balancing, "serious" man about numbers, but he's woefully inconsistent. It's all malarkey, as Uncle Joe would say.

RADDATZ: Let me -- let me calm down things here just for a minute. And I want to talk to you very briefly before we go to closing statements about your own personal character. If you are elected, what could you both give to this country as a man, as a human being, that no one else could?
