Election 2012 MVP: Joe Biden

Let's e honest, we were wetting the bed after the first debate. Romney's support WAS increasing and a lot of us were demoralized. But when the Vice President got in Ryan's face and called MALARKY, the fire was back. It was also the point in October when Romney's "momentun" stopped. Joe has always been one of the most underrated and under-appreciated people in American politics and I want to single him out for stepping upand pushing back at time we needed it most.

Explained everything clearly and so well.

Set the tone for what followed.

Viva la Bubba! Thank you Bill Clinton!

And he laughed, and he laughed, and he laughed.

It was brilliant debate theater. You could see Ryan becoming unbuttoned as the debate went on.

But Joe owned the stage and was not going to give an inch, not even an angstrom.

This was Kobuki of the highest art.

Joe Biden is a big fucking deal.

I didn't want to jinx anything in the days before the election, but man did he save our asses.

This is what it comes down to with Joe Biden - when you need him to come through, he does.

And that is about as fine a statement I think as you can make about anybody.
