On Thursday, October 11, 2012 the United States of America witnessed its one and only debate of the 2012 election between Vice President Biden and congressman Paul Ryan. Mark Z. Barabak and Maeve Reston wrote about the debate in the Los Angeles Times on October 12, 2012 in an article titled: "Biden, Ryan Clash in Feisty Vice Presidential Debate". The title of the article sums up this debate perfectly. It was a feisty clash of opinions and beliefs over a ninety minute period. In contrast to the calm presidential debate, the vice presidential debate resembled more of a heated argument between two adversaries. The candidates debated over much of the same topics as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney the week before, however it was in a much more lively manner with no regard to typical debate etiquette. The two often interrupted each other and even spoke over the moderator several times. Throughout the entire debate both candidates took a numerous amount of shots at one another and their running mates.
Most people judged the debate as a draw, however Biden definitely beat Ryan in this debate with his confidence and experience. Biden has proven time and again what a great debater he is why he and Barack Obama are the best for the future of America.
