TO BE FAIR, HE’S ONLY COMPETING AGAINST JOE BIDEN: Rex Murphy: In the battle of the vice-presidents, Ryan wins by a knockout. “It was almost funny to hear some Democrats try to portray Ryan as a ‘dangerous,’ too ‘bold’ choice for Romney, exactly at the same time Biden was out on the campaign trail playing to the script of some movie only he could see. In less than two days he gave the world to understand he thinks it is still the 20th century, misnamed the state he was speaking in and most viciously, gave one of the crudest, most demeaning racist shoutouts ever.”

Remember, putting Slow Joe a heartbeat away from the nuclear button was Obama’s first executive decision.
