Rep. Paul Ryan, Vice President Joe Biden spar in fiery debate, talking economy, abortion, Iran and religion in Thursday night debate.
Vice President Joe Biden and Republican VP candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin faced off Thursday night in a heated debate that covered foreign wars, tax reform, healthcare, abortion, and their shared faith in the Catholic Church. During the debate, broadcast live from Centre College in Danville, Ky., Biden flexed his experience with foreign policy when answering questions about ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, nuclear arms in Iran and whether to send troops to Syria. “The last thing America needs is to get in a ground war in the Middle East,” Biden said. Ryan called the Obama administration’s foreign policy “chaotic,” criticizing the lack of security present during the September attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, …

Victory 2012, the Republican effort that is supporting former Massachusetts Gov.

Northern Virginia residents received a mailer from the GOP candidate vowing to rid the state of 'massive epidemic.'
In a ploy that pundits see as a way to pander to voters in a battleground state, the campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, has sent out mailers to Northern Virginians vowing to stamp out Lyme disease. The mailer, paid for by Romney for President, calls the disease a "massive epidemic threatening Virginia" and says that the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, will do more to fight the spread of the disease by "improving synergy" between agencies and "increasing awareness" among the public. Virginia had 756 confirmed cases of Lyme disease in 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control. According to the CDC, Lyme disease is the most common …

Vice president's son says a blue Virginia would block a Romney presidency.
Virginia's veterans are being called to a different battleground in November — the ballot box. Rallying the troops on Thursday was Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, an Iraq veteran and son of Vice President Joe Biden, who declared, "If we win in Virginia, there really is no path to victory for Mitt Romney." Beau Biden headlined a Veterans for Obama event in Arlington a little more than two hours before Romney formally accepted the GOP presidential nomination in Tampa. Veterans account for more than 10 percent of the state's population, and both parties are working hard to curry favor with America's servicemen and servicewomen. Biden accused Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, of violating a "sacred obligation" to take care of this …

State senator critical of Wisconsin representative's proposed reforms of social safety net programs.
Virginia state Sen. Barbara Favola, D-Arlington, said this weekend that Republican Mitt's Romney's pick of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate proved Romney was "out of touch." "Paul Ryan has a definite record — and it's a record of severe and harsh cuts to programs that our elderly have always depended on," Favola told Patch at the Arlington County Fair. Favola criticized Ryan's approach to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, saying, "His budget removes the safety net for seniors." "It's just another example of Romney being out of touch," she said. "Virginians, and Americans, want more government than Governor Romney realizes or appreciates." Join the conversation: What do you think of Romney's choice?
On Saturday, Patch polled several prominent local Republicans and Democrats about their thoughts on Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan for vice president.
A strong majority of Democrats think both Virginia Democrats and President Barack Obama can win their elections in November largely by running against Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plans and his proposals for Medicare, according to a weekend Northern Virginia Patch "snap poll." On Saturday morning, Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, announced he had chosen Ryan as his running mate, passing over Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and others presumed to be on the short list. Romney made the announcement in Norfolk and spent the day on a bus tour of Virginia, ending with a campaign event in Manassas. After the announcement, Patch sent surveys to more than 75 key Republicans and Democrats, …
