| Rep. Paul Ryan |
The conservative Republican commentator thinks that the conservative Republican Congressman will win tomorrow night's vice presidential debate, although Sen. Joe Biden will hold his own so it won't be a blowout: "Don’t get me wrong, though: Paul Ryan will win. He is the sharpest
guy in Washington right now, and is one of the most disciplined and
focused public speakers I’ve ever seen. Nobody stays on message like
this guy. Biden will throw the kitchen sink at him — spurious factoids,
equally doubtful anecdotes about people in swing states, farfetched
Scranton aphorisms, and pure campaign spin — and Ryan should not be
tempted to try to catch everything."
More commentary from Mr. Williams: "One of the things Romney did best in
the first debate was respond to criticism: the President didn’t know
what to do, and so he kept repeating the same debunked nonsense (five
trillion, five trillion, five trillion). Ryan’s focus will be a great opportunity to speak directly to the
American people without spin. This was largely a missed opportunity
during the Republican National Convention, because of the Ministry of
Truth’s frenzied response to Ryan’s speech, which was to call him a
liar, which is a lie."
