So who do you think won the debate?
Vice Presidential debates can be a deal breaker for a rising star in either party in terms of their own career. That did not happen tonight.
Biden won this one clearly on facts, leadership and confidence.
Neither screwed up enough to cause the loss of their running mate imo and that is what they want to avoid. VP debates do not win elections yet they can harm the VP's career within their own party.
I loved it when Biden called out Ryan on the "death panel" Sarah Palinesque weak attempt to deflect the medicare discussion. Obama should have smacked Romney down on that bit of lying BS and other deceptions. Romney tried the same tactic that is a complete distortion of reality.
Biden was not only calm and stayed on facts ... he was badass!

This poll is flawed. There is no choice for draw.
Ryan won on simple courtesy alone. Biden needed a muzzle and a leash.Vice Presidential debates can be a deal breaker for a rising star in either party in terms of their own career. That did not happen tonight.

Are (some) of you people serious? Romney comes out aggressive and everyone gives him the auto win. Biden comes out as aggressive and he's being a jerk and Ryan's "professional"? LOL, give me a break.

Anyone who thinks that Ryan came even close to winning that debate is in complete denial.
As we sometimes say down here in the South, that was a thumpin.'
Now...when do we get to see the Biden-vs.-Romney debate?
I agree a lot of that. It was clear from the start that part of Biden's strategy was to make Ryan look like a naive boy. His laughter and interruption did that. He could have backed off a bit more since he had pretty much already made his point about that early on.I think Romney's style of aggressiveness is qualitatively different from Biden's, however. Biden's is much more irritated, which can have drawbacks as a result. Nevertheless, there was a significant portion of those moments where that exact method accomplished what he needed it to: demonstrate the perception that Ryan was either naive, off the mark, or whatever else. Other times it did not serve him well in that debate.
The difference depends on which side your on and how honest you are about your bias.I don't remember Romney acting anything like Biden. Bidens performance reminds of Gore all those years ago when all he did was sigh every time Bush spoke. There is a difference between acting aggressively and acting like a childish jerk that needs a punch in the face.
