Personally I think people were as excessively positive about last night's VP Debate in Danville, KY as they were excessively negative about the first Obama-Romney debate last week. I came away from both thinking they were draws.
That doesn't mean there were no true shining moments. There were many. Here's my personal favorite :
JOE BIDEN: ... Now they got a new plan: "Trust me, it's not going to cost you any more." Folks, follow your instincts on this one.
And with regard to Social Security, we will not — we will not privatize it. If we had listened to Romney, Governor Romney, and the congressman during the Bush years, imagine where all those seniors would be now if their money had been in the market.
Their ideas are old and their ideas are bad, and they eliminate the guarantee of Medicare.
I think when you get down to it -- when you try to appeal to people going beyond bean-counting -- perhaps the best argument a liberal can have is precisely what Biden did, namely, look the voter in the eye and ask who he or she thinks is more trustworthy on Social Security and Medicare -- Biden the Democrat or the GOPer Ann Rand acolyte sitting beside him. It's that simple; it's that basic.
