I think it was pretty even - Biden came off more personable and warm, Ryan more professional and cold. But I also thought that the first debate was pretty evenly matched, so what do I know?
Talking heads give it to Biden, just like it was. He didn't look any more rude (or spirited) than Romney last week. This moderator had way more testicular fortitude than Jim L. She pressed them on details and only Biden had them.

Biden was about as personable and warm as a pit bull.
It just ended. And really there were a lot of positives points and there was no need for them to be listed.
If I'm planning to send out a fundraising email right after a debate, I'd have talking points already lined up... They can throw a big bird commercial together fast, listing a few points really isnt difficult.
The most ironic response of the evening was when talking about negative campaigning. Biden admitted both sides had engaged in it, Ryan's response was a tirade against Obama.
I think that Ryan lost it at the end of the debate, specifically with this. Biden says that both sides have ads they're not proud of, Ryan attacks Obama. And he did not handle the abortion question well.
