Paul Ryan: Romney ‘won the debate’

Paul Ryan: Romney ‘won the debate’
Congressman Paul Ryan reacts to Governor Mitt Romney’s performance in the presidential town hall debate, saying his running mate won the face-off by offering people “a very concrete vision about how he’s got the experience, the knowledge.”

I will never understand the republican refusal to live in reality. The "circle the wagons" mentality may have worked in past decades when the "media" consisted of the printed press and 3 major television stations. But now, in the 21st century, the world is a very different place. Republicans seem like they can't adjust to the "fact check" of the new world of 300 channels, FB, The twitterverse, and satellite radio.

coworkers since once is my boss, I just keep my mouth shut and smiled. I tried to reason with the most reasonable one in the bunch, and that did not go that well. Since then I avoid all discussion of politics in the office.

I'll bet he thinks he won his debate too. What is it with Repukes refusing to accept reality? Quite a contrast from Democrats, most of us here admit Obama didn't perform well in the first debate. Now if only Repukes will say their candidate did a lousy job last night.
