Video: Risk in debate for Biden, Ryan



>>> more now on tomorrow's vice presidential debate in kentucky. both sides, of course, are feeling the pressure. the challenge for congressman ryan may be the most daunting writing he has to defend both his record and mitt romney 's and we have seen over the past few weeks ryan 's record and budget plan have die verged of mitt romney . vice president biden needs to have a decisive win to stem the loss of enthusiasm and get undecided voters on board and do it facing headlines like this. daily beast . biden 's mission impossible , stop obama free fall with ryan debate. the hill wrote high stakes for wild card biden . politico had this one. eat crow and pray for joe. bring in nbc news political news editor and we focused on the headlines of vice president joe biden . let's play what mitt romney said on cnn about his running mate.

>> i don't know how paul will deal with this debate. obviously, the vice president has done, i don't know, 15 or 20 debates during his lifetime. experienced debater. i think this is paul's first debate. i may be wrong. he may have done something in high school . i don't know.

>> he may have done something in high school , i don't know. get to know your running mate. they should spend some time together.

>> paul ryan may look young but he's been a member of congress for 13 years.

>> yes.

>> he's been in about eight baebts his campaign tells us. so he's been on the stage but, again, for on a smaller stage for the congressional -- for his congressional district . there's clearly risk in both of -- for both of these candidates. joe biden , obvious i, everyone knows baf prone over the years and expectations for him have been pretty low. you saw the headlines and polling that showed that people think that ryan should win the debate, that might actually help biden . he was a pretty strong debater in 2007 - 2008 and you might see some of that on stage. the thing he'll have to be careful about is making sure like he said everything he says is completely accurate and that he's not talking down to ryan . he can have a tendency to seem con da sending and one exchange with ryan in the health care debates, he seemed to sort of be a little dismissive of him. i think you will see him curb that time around.

>> you have chuck todd talking about joe biden pretty much won all of the democratic primary debates when he was in the race, that even though there might be quirky headlines, this man is the total package from his likability to his experience with domestic policy as well as, of course, we know foreign policy .

>> well, we have seen biden 's likability rating take a bit of a hit in the past few months, pull out of pew just out today or yesterday showing him under water and that ryan seeming more likable but i agree he did do -- he showed himself to be very well in those 2007 - 2008 debates with the knowledge on foreign policy and the judges. somebody who obama wanted to bring on board because of some of that. paul ryan has risk in this, as welt. the fact is he had some problems with the facts during his convention speech. he's got to make sure he says is completely accurate because people are going to have their ears tuned very closely to that and also how he squares his budget with mitt romney 's budget. we already saw some of that talking about abortion and saying there's no difference between him and mitt romney now.

>> it's interesting. you say problems with the facts here. already you've got ann romney 's latest comments and paul ryan yesterday basically make the assertion that either calling out quote/unquote lies as the president and supporters referred to comments made by ryan during his big speech at the rnc and comments of mitt romney as either unsportsmanlike or in ryan 's case, a way to demoralize people because you have no other default argument here. they're trying to counter this.

>> right.

>> i think we have been challenged on this, as well. you know this. there's a difference between someone's opinion and whether or not someone says a factory closed when it was not. that is not up for opinion.

>> right. well, look. this election is the sky's green collection. we have little leverage it feels like to try to set the record straight as fairly as possible and we try to do and everybody's got their own study. everybody's got their own set of facts this time around and, you know, frustrating for those of us trying to get it as close to the truth as you possibly can.

>> we'll see vice president joe biden do at least if some of the situations pop up in the debate that the president says he wished he challenged with mitt romney so we'll see what happens. thank you.
