The public breakdown is actually this:

10/04/2012 -
10/07/2012 Pew Independents 36.0 Democrats 31.0 Republicans 27.0
09/13/2012 -
09/17/2012 AP/GfK Democrats 31.0 Independents 29.0 Republicans 22.0
09/12/2012 -
09/16/2012 Pew Independents 36.0 Democrats 35.0 Republicans 24.0
09/08/2012 -
09/12/2012 CBS/NYT Independents 36.0 Democrats 35.0 Republicans 22.0

So the poll massively oversampled Republicans and failed to correct for that. Terrible stats work.

Mitt Romney's running partner in the US election, Paul Ryan, has been accused of stealing an anecdote from the late Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain.

In last night's Vice Presidential debate (October 11), Republican congressman Ryan told a story about how his daughter Liza got the nickname Bean, when answering a question about abortion.

Gawker reports that it was quickly pointed out by Twitter users that Ryan's story was similar to Cobain's, who said he gave his daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, her unique middle name because she looked like a kidney bean on his wife Courtney Love's ultrasound scan. Ryan has stated that he is a big fan of Nirvana, as well as Rage Against The Machine.

Stopped reading right there.

Probably because the way Biden acted was more extreme than the way Romney acted.

I know what twitter is, just don't have it. Someone put a screenshot on another forum of the first tweet.

I beg to differ. Biden definitely interrupted Ryan, but Ryan should have been doing the same. The vice presidential debates are a different animal compare to the presidential ones. I have a hard time taking seriously the concept that Romney was being more respectful during his debate. Did he interrupt as frequently or have some exaggerated body language? No. But, did Biden continuously trample over the debate moderator? No. Biden and Ryan are supposed to go after each other. Biden got heavy handed in his interruptions in a couple of spots, but their debate time was essentially evenly split.

I'll put it this way: When all you can talk about is the other person being "rude", then substantially you don't have a leg to stand on.

When you toss away all the other criticisms and focus on one, you substantially don't have a leg to stand on.

This goes both ways.

Why did Biden lie and say that "intelligence" was saying that the embassy attack started as a "demonstration" as a result of the youtube video.


"intelligence" has come out and said they didn't say that...

So why did Biden lie to the people?

[Rampager2000]

So why did Ryan lie to the people?
