little time to remember, digest and respond to. Biden would have to be really prepared to debunk Ryan's assumptions and lack of reasoning behind his views.

Biden knows a lot and he doesn't have to remember what lies he's told. A definite advantage.

And yes, VP Biden has decades & decades of experience!

I just can't see R&R on the world stage. It will be Bush/Cheney all over again, maybe worse! I can hear the rest of the world pleading, "Please don't bush us again!"

Debating is not exactly Biden's strong suit, and Ryan is a pretty slick talker.
