WASHINGTON D.C. - Thursday's vice presidential debate between incumbent VP Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan insists it is more than prepared to be sworn into the national spotlight, should something happen to the presidential debate at some point down the road. In the unlikely event that the town meeting between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were to become incapacitated or unable to fulfill its duties as a presidential debate, Thursday's Vice Presidential debate in Kentucky reaffirmed that it would not shy away from allowing its two combatants to answer questions more geared toward a potential commander-in-chief. "One of the responsibilities of a vice presidential debate is knowing that you might have to step up to the plate and have your candidates duke it out over the issue of leadership," said the debate. "I am ready for such an eventuality."
