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.

sadly, his data is seldom factual, when you lack facts you grin, act "bombastic" and interrupt a lot accusing the other guy of lying ...I'll give him credit for being able to stumble through many of the popular talking points, however inaccurate, I like this.. "Private Reality" of course, for Biden, it's been pretty consistent throughout his career which apparently makes him very popular in the alternate universe but I think the average voter was pretty appalled, at this point in the campaign I'd imagine the undecided are looking for reasonable leaders that can work with Congress and I'm not sure that Biden displayed any of that...when you combine Obama's arrogance and Biden's buffonery, I'm not sure you get a winning message unless you occupy that "other" universe....he might have fired up the alternate universe a little, but they are looking/hoping for a dictator...but that's about it...when they hold the Million Muppet March here shortly, they should really consider making Biden the Band Leader...put him right out front high stepping and grinning with a giant baton, like Nacny Pelosi's giant gavel...he's clearly the Top Sock Puppet

Rasmussen and Gallup = Romney 49......Obama 47
47...that's so funny

Obama was up by 7.3 points at this point in 08'
