Battle of the narratives: Pt 2 Biden vs Ryan

Look for Ryan to lie a lot with energy and lots of pseudo statistics.

Look for Biden to deliver some zingers, powerful stories and go for the win. Biden will take the battle to Ryan with real emotion and some smiles too and it should really be quite a war.

What to look for (big picture):

Biden claiming the latest jobs numbers foreshadow a strong recovery. Biden taking credit for the recovery and laying blame on the GOP.

Ryan claiming we're doomed without his "compassionate" friend MR. I would love for Ryan to explain how Medicare vouchers are really a good thing, but I'm not sure he'll play.

It will be nothing like the Palin-Biden debate. Biden will be quite a bit less gentle with Ryan.
