    Didn't watch the debate but it seems clear that both sides have declared victory and everyone will be talking about something else by the weekend.

    Certainly, Biden did better than Obama. That said, it still "may" not have been enough (thus far). The Obama/Biden ticket might very well still be reeling from Obama's debate ineptness.

    Next Tuesday's match will be interesting to watch.

    Nah, I think that Biden needed a good showing to "stem the tide" until the next Presidential debate and he gave one. I don't think it was a "knockout of Ryan" (as I've seen some say) or a "clear Ryan victory", I think that he hit better points on targeting the points the D's are going for (like the "War on Women" garbage that everyone who doesn't vote for Obama is clearly pushing) while losing momentum when talking about foreign policy.

    VP Debate Results: Biden Tears Ryan Apart

    Biden came out swinging tonight and landed some solid hits tonight. Right out the gate he was stepping all over Ryan's arguments and trashed Ryan's critique of the stimulus by pointing out how Ryan himself had begged for more money for his district. This debate has also clearly revealed just where each ticket stands on foreign policy, and the GOP is not on the right side of it on Afghanistan and Iran. Ryan's reputation as a truth teller has been effectively shredded, with most people on Twitter seeming to laugh at his "honesty" remark. He also didn't have the gravitas to compete against Biden, giving a tone of voice that made him sound whiny rather than giving the impression that he is having a heart-to-heart with the American people. And I expect that Romney campaign spokesmen will be denying some of his comments on Afghanistan after this too.

    Yawn.

    You don't need to be a Democrat to know who dominated this debate.

    The CNN poll begs to differ.

    Well, here's one independent vote for Ryan. Biden's constant eye rolling, head shaking... is what I see attorneys with very weak cases do in court. Juries hate it. Also, and this is no surprise, Biden lies a lot. He always has. That said, Ryan isn't immune to spinning things. If it were a fight and I were scoring it, I'd say Ryan 123-119.

    All the poll means is that more Republican's decided to take the time to vote than Democrats.

    I could see how, if you were one of the diehards that thought Obama "tied" last week, that this would be a "domination"
