Odd.

The clock showed about 20 seconds.

Honestly, nothing of substance was covered tonight. People will remember Biden as a polished, media-savvy distraction & Ryan being unable to assert himself or succinctly answer questions.

I heard one of the commentators (I forget which one) mentioning that Biden has had a history of inappropriate nervous smiling, like a tic.

Katiana don't you know me better than to think that I would really care what people say?
Obama, unlike Ryan, didn't have an intelligent and factual response to the points Mitt made.

You mean like "Hope and Change" or "Bin Laden's dead and GM's alive"? Oh wait.....

every poll on the internet has biden winning firmly.

It wasn't even close. Biden slayed the evil monster. Love how these Reps are trying to call it a draw.

The debate was a wash.

Last week, Mitt didn't talk over Obama.

Tonight, Biden interrupted Ryan, many times and grimaced and smiled and made faces for distraction.

Next week will be interesting.

Mitt kept talking over the moderator, don't you remember?

Biden won this debate. His smiling and Interrupting while rude, wasnt nearly as obnoxious as Al Gores SIGH sigh. Ryan allowed himself to be walked on.
