Is It Obama vs Romney Or Ryan

If you read or listen to the political pundits, you don't know if the presidential race is between Obama vs Romney or Obama vs Ryan.  Poor senile Joe Biden has been left out out of the debates altogether.
Stories like this are dominating the news.
From the Sacramento Bee: Who loves Medicare more? President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's running mate vied for that distinction Saturday as Medicare became the latest flashpoint in a presidential campaign of flying elbows.
The issue is dicey for both sides: Obama is steering billions from the entitlement to help pay for the expansion of coverage under his health care law; Paul Ryan is a champion of overhauling Medicare to make the traditional program no longer the mainstay for tomorrow's seniors — just one of many old-age health insurance choices.

It seems that the selection of Paul Ryan has changed the debate in the presidential election and now, Obama has to answer Ryan, with lies, of course, but at least he is answering.
Poor Biden, he is a political orphan- no one is talking to him and he is bringing nothing to the table.
