Fred Barnes: Biden Bombed

weeklystandard via Free Republic

You don’t win a nationally televised debate by being rude and obnoxious. You don’t win by interrupting your opponent time after time after time or by being a blowhard. You don’t win with facial expressions, especially smirks or fake laughs, or by pretending to be utterly exasperated with what your opponent is saying.

Comment:

That may not always be true.  Lloyd Bentsen destroyed Dan Quayle's political career with the "you're no Jack Kennedy" shot.  One thing you can't say about that shot is that it was polite.

I didn't watch the debate, so I have no comment one way or another about who won.  Evidently, Biden put on a show, which was made into an RNC ad.





Update:

That grin of Biden's reminds me of this video "Smiling Faces".
