In a nutshell, I thought Biden did better that Ryan tonight. I have to say that Ryan kept his composure under against an opponent determined to not let any points slip by unquestioned. For voters in general I thing Biden was a clear victor but he may not gain ground with younger voters who are unfamiliar with the garrulous style of the Biden political era. Strictly from a point by point view I thought Biden was effective in demonstrating the inconsistencies and unsupported claims of the Romney/Ryan ticket.
For the most part Biden was successful in reassuring the fainthearted of the Democrats that there is still some spunk in the ticket. If civility was what you were looking for then the contest went to Ryan. A CBS instant poll has the Veep winning 50% to 31%.
A CNBC poll has the advantage at 4%.
Fact of the matter is that the large majority of the voters have their minds made up. Only a few percentage points in the middle somewhere are in play and then it matters only in a few states. A weak performance by either of the proponents in the final two debates will be very damaging.
