spence my have a different opinion
Biden was just being his bombastic self. Over the top at times but I don't think it was out of character. I thought Biden was very prepared. He did a great job of attacking the Romney platform and backed up most everything with data.

Ryan did well to hold his ground. He seemed a bit nervous at times with all the water sipping, he must have drank a 1/2 gallon.

Overall it was a very entertaining debate and I think did a much better job of offering contrasts than the first one. The moderation was much better. Many are offering this one as a draw subtracting style points for Biden's aggressiveness. I thought Biden dominated the first 1/2 and the second half Ryan was able to assert himself a bit more.

Considering what was on the line if Biden choked, I think he delivered in a big way...

I doubt it will change any minds but it was important to equalize the media coverage going into the town hall next week.
