Romney extends poll lead as bullying Biden is blasted for 'rude and disrespectful' display
[Daily Mail]  Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... has been left with little to smile about after the latest Rasmussen tracking poll found that Willard MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. More to the point, he isn't President B.O... has overtaken President Barack Obama We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... The poll, released today but conducted before Biden's hectoring, smirking debate clash with Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President B.O.'s 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... , is the latest indication that Romney's gains after his strong debate performance mark a shift in the U.S. presidential race rather than merely a temporary bounce. On Thursday, Obama had led Romney by one point in the Rasmussen survey. Biden's performance has done little to dent Romney's advance in the latest Gallup daily national tracking poll, which has the GOP contender leading Obama by two points, with Romney on 49 per cent and Obama on 47 per cent - unchanged from Thursday's poll. With a flash of his teeth - and a lot of finger-jabbing - the Vice President won plaudits from his fans during the debate last night, but his performance ran a very high risk of being seen as bullying and condescending, alienating swing and female voters. Veteran columnist Peggy Noonan described Biden as 'weirdly aggressive' and said his bullishness 'looked mean and second-rate' as Republicans claimed that Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times during the 90-minute debate.
