Be Careful What You Wish For

Chris Matthews gets his wish. But like any wish, the fulfillment is perhaps not quite what he wanted:

Now, as [Vice President Biden] prepares to debate Paul Ryan, a 14-year House veteran and the top Republican budget writer, Biden is less concerned about looking like a bully.

"I think he is going to play hardball," said former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who played Palin in debate preparations in 2008 but is not involved this year. "He won't have to worry about pulling punches. He can go after policy and raise issues with a number of deliberate deceptions the other side has put forth."

He isn't concerned about looking like an idiot. Why should he be concerned about looking like a bully?

Besides, he'll probably land as many punches on President Obama as on Governor Romney.
