Surprisingly, Joe managed the almost perfect result by eking out a tie. Well, CNN called it a tie, but with an instant reaction survey showing 48% for Ryan and 44% for Biden, most of us would call that a 4% loss for Biden.
What was less than perfect was Joe's malarkey of extensive eye-rolling, grimacing, and laughing in reaction to almost every Paul Ryan answer and even some Martha Raddatz questions during the first half of the debate. It was like Joe drunk-blogged it. He did sober up a bit towards the end of the debate. True, there have been worse Biden debacles.
The angry white man act is getting a little old for a man who is Vice President of the United States, assistant leader of the free world, not a back-bencher for the opposition party. Paul Ryan, on the other hand, successfully avoided getting painted as the extremist he is played as on MSNBC.
