Biden Debate - Ryan: Youth Versus Experience

Biden masterfully demonstrated his experience in politics, motivating the Democratic base, with solid arguments discussing the most critical issues and being at the height of its institutional representation. But this does not indicate that Paul Ryan has fallen behind. The young Republican leader said a strong pulse of debate for 90 minutes-long debate, which began with a discussion on Libya, to the country's economy, the September 11 attack or abortion, and ending with the view of each whether the campaign was being developed under the premises of respect, and zero cleaning dirty tricks.

Biden came out successful defense when the task has been waging Obama to stabilize the country's economy after inheriting a nation that was going through its worst financial crisis since 1929. Unlike Ryan, who repeatedly refused to answer how you will finance four years under the management wants to hold promise of a tax cut.

Some surveys indicate the end of the debate that the difference in numbers is not so far away. While Biden brings experience and management issues, Ryan is credited her youth positively.

This discussion aims to substantially strengthening the reelection of Obama in power who claimed to be proud of his team formula. U.S. citizens found a figure vicepresencial safely enough, knowledge and experience. Although this was the first and only debate of the candidates for running mate, it is estimated that as a result of that campaign teams of each candidate are as strong agenciando from activities in which they can match these two leaders again, to raise the political and get more endorsements from both sides.

The Debate Between Biden and Ryan in Numbers

Interesting is the analysis conducted by the Washington Post about the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and his Republican rival, Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.).

And is that when politicians talk, analysts are fixed throughout.

And that was precisely what made Chris Calizza in his column, The Fix.

Calizza bother to list some of the words that either caught his eye, or were considered important during the heated debate both held last week in Danville, Kentucky.

Among other issues, Biden and Ryan discussed the Middle East conflict, Medicare, Iran, taxes and abortion.
Here, for you to do your own analysis, some of the figures in question:

• 30, the number of occasions when Biden mentioned the word curl and Medicare. Apparently, the issue of health coverage is more important than it seems.

• "47 percent", a number that will probably remain uncomfortable for Mitt Romney, Republican presidential candidate.

• 53, the number of occasions on which the name of the Republican candidate to the White House was mentioned in the debate.

• 3, the number of times that Biden said the word "nonsense". That was the label's vice president Ryan's stance on foreign policy.

• 14, the number of times that Biden referred to Ryan as "my friend", although little was in friendly encounter

• 4, the occasions on which each candidate said "abortion."

Ten Lessons Ryan-Biden Debates

The election result will not decide the debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden. The vice presidential candidates exchanged blows in a debate dialectical much more alive and more cunning than Barack Obama and Mitt Romney held a few days ago. These conclusions ten left Danville televised duel.

1.       No clear winner

This time none steamrolled. Darts were exchanged and some low blows. The vice president came to the lesson and did what Obama did in Denver last week. Ryan was not as bright as Romney. But adopted a serene attitude that made him look good. Got for winning polls and analysts Ryan declared a draw. Good for the Republicans, who still lead in the polls.

2.        Raising morale

The aim of Biden was haranguing Democrats low hours and succeeded. His combative style was a cry to bases disappointed by the president's passivity. But the impression here is that the vice president spent braking. He overran laughter and histrionic gestures and lacked respect for his opponent. His arguments were good. But he lost the debate on the forms. A KO points and no.

3.       The challenge

Ryan's challenge was presented as a politician ready to be president if the time comes and he did with a tone and content without fanfare. He presented his arguments with ease in economic affairs. Although he suffered to explain his position on abortion and was not loose in addressing foreign policy. Yet polls showed that more than his rival liked and those who watched the debate thought he was better prepared to reach the White House. Quite an achievement against a veteran like Joe Biden.

4.       Rivals like

A Ryan and Biden are joined by many similarities. Both are career politicians and profess the Catholic religion. Both suffered a major loss at a young age: his father Ryan infarction Biden and his wife and youngest daughter in a traffic accident. The debate made evident their opposing views on the future of U.S. fruit of the doldrums perhaps reflecting their age. Biden (69) tried their proposals whisper in the ear of the "baby boomers". Ryan (42) was presented as the image of generational change.

5.       Only a protagonist

Biden was the undisputed star of the debate. It was as loud as effective. Best foreign policy in economics and better when he spoke when he kept talking to her rival. No Obama quoted by name once. Perhaps still have his sights set on a possible future election.

6.       More pressure for Obama

Biden's verbal aggression even further increases the pressure on Obama, who is bound to win his match on Tuesday in New York. Will the strategy outlined by the second? Should not that scare the undecided? You must find a middle ground between the bluff and not appear. But above all should make a solid discussion. Obama still does not offer a memorable moment in this campaign. The staged there but the other: Michelle, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden on Thursday.

7.       Echoes of 2016

Both Biden and Ryan harbor presidential ambitions and this were clear in Thursday's debate. The vice president tried to gain the respect of their bases, which often presented as a leader prone to whining and blunders. The applicant sought to show that he is a politician with fewer edges than indicating a caricature and can conquer less extremist voters by stressing the need for spending cuts. Both got what they wanted. But Ryan is still a much more credible candidate for 2016. Has time on his side.

8.       Mal on abortion

The worst moment was Ryan's question about abortion. It was dry and lacking in words stating the official position of the campaign, which defends only in cases of incest, rape or risk to the mother's health. Congressman voted much more radical laws on Capitol Hill and its position is to the right of Romney. It was a very difficult question for him and very damaging for Republicans, who need to reduce the gap between women that still separates them from the president.

9.       Foreign Policy

Biden goofed when discussing the attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi. But otherwise, won by a landslide in debate on foreign policy. Ryan failed to articulate the differences would Romney presidency for U.S. relations with its allies. Nor could say for sure what Obama should have done in crisis as negotiations with Syria or Iran. Still, it is important to remember that this time foreign policy is a matter irrelevant. The economy and the deficit are the issues of greatest concern to citizens.

10.   A duel irrelevant

The debate Thursday night just influences the election outcome. There were no gaffes or mistakes very obvious. It was an exchange that satisfied the bases and left without answers to those who still have not decided who to vote for. The elections are decided by the presidential candidates. Moreover in this campaign as polarized as even and where every vote could be crucial. Romney remains ahead in the RCP index which several national polls. Although still lagging behind in key battleground states like Ohio and Virginia needed to win. On Tuesday, Obama will face in a debate that seems crucial. So it may be easier to predict the election result.

Paul Ryan during a Campaign

When Paul Ryan was a child in Janesville, a small town between Milwaukee and Chicago, his parents, and five generations of Irish in Wisconsin, taught him "the power of incentives." When he drew a notable only their pay reduced from four to two dollars. If the note was sufficient, it was nothing. "Hard work is rewarded, and lazing criminalized," says Ryan now.

When he began to study economics, the future congressman understood the lesson of his parents as an example of the national spirit. "We are a country that rewards initiative, encourages self-sufficiency and encourage free enterprise," he writes in his 2010 book 'Young Guns'.

The title comes from a western about the adventures of Billy the Kid and named Ryan and a group that helps candidates advocates state retrenchment. Ryan found a new audience in the Republican wave of 2010 and the Tea Party after years of lonely struggle by the cuts.

The guy from Wisconsin came to Congress with only 28, little work experience and the ideal inculcated by a liberal professor at Ohio University. His family, a clan of Wisconsin dedicated to the construction, as voted for Reagan Democrats, popular in southern Wisconsin, the region bordering Chicago. His father, a lawyer, died of a heart attack when Ryan was 16.

"The whole family took his father's death with great fortitude", reminds ELMUNDO.es Mavis Steil, family friend, in her living room of Janesville. "The father was a very introverted person and very thoughtful. Paul has more the extrovert of his mother’s a brave young man and a very articulate thought. A person with a great strength," says Steil.

Very fond of skiing

The boy grew fast while his mother worked and he took care of an Alzheimer's ailing grandmother. Nothing seemed to indicate that they would devote to politics and only seemed interested in skiing. His boss at McDonald's told that he had "social skills" to work in the box and went to the kitchen.

But the young man took refuge in reading and fell in love with 'The revolution of Atlas', Ayn Rand's novel that mixes sex and railroad adventures with a harsh critique of state intervention. For years, Ryan gave the Christmas book and recommended it to all his colleagues and trainees, but now disowns the atheism of the author. Congressman Rand defines as "the reason" for which he entered politics and Milton Friedman as his "hero".

His landing in the House of Representatives at the end of the Clinton era was disappointed. "As you arrive, you are bombarded with pressure to violate your conscience," he writes in 'Young Guns'.

His colleagues were more concerned with maintaining the position using the budget for local projects at will so that Ryan called "the heart" and "principles" of the party. Found no accomplices during years of war, more tax cuts and subsidized medicines. He voted for some of these measures while campaigning for a plan to privatize the pension system and public health for the elderly and the poor. Without the support of the Bush administration, he was still "crunching numbers."

To save time, when I was in Washington, had sleepovers in the office. The clock has always unnerved this politician now 42 years for death before age 60 from his father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Every morning and play sports very careful what you eat. 'Time' has published pictures of him posing with dumbbells and personnel preparation program and is fashionable. Ryan also said he was overwhelmed neglecting his three children and his wife, Janna, a Democrat family tax advisor, and praised President Obama for being "good father" and "husband".

Europe

His moment of glory came shortly before the 2010 Congressional elections. In his fourth term in office was dreamed, the chairman of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives, and for the first time saw a strong base of critics of the state for bailouts of the crisis and the expansion of public health. He succeeded the House passed its budget alternative to government cuts. The Senate Democratic majority, stopped him, but Ryan became the informal leader of the opposition.

His obsession is that the United States does not become Europe. Democrats, he said, "want to transform this country into a European welfare state from cradle to grave". Ryan says that Europe's dependence on subsidies has made society "mediocre" and "complacent".

"Individuals become more timid, more concerned about their safety than freedom, more concerned about receiving their government subsidies that make progress and get the most out of life. The result is that these countries have many tax and persistent unemployment "writes Ryan, who, through his writings, inspired much of the anti-European discourse Romney even before he chose as a couple to the White House.

The running mate is a good speaker, is released to the public and has a sense of humor. Boasts listening and playing hard rock music complains "lift" lying on the campaign bus of Mitt Romney. The candidate has also become star to his mother, Betty, 78, to force her out on stage at rallies. She usually smiles and wave as him (only him) was to tears.
