Last night’s Biden/Ryan debate was a demonstration on how Democrats will shout down an opponent when confronted with the facts of fundamental failure of the Obama Administration.

Thus as the day and week moves forward I predict the Dems will say VP Biden won by virtue of blustering and not allowing Rep. Ryan to elaborate on the facts. If you are a Republican VP Biden’s performance was that of an insane person smiling like a creep sometimes and masking shock to condescend to the kid’s facts. Not that Ryan is a kid; he is a man in his forties. But old foot-in-mouth Biden would not give Ryan a chance to stick his foot in his mouth.

I like what William L. Gensert wrote about Biden’s gyrations:

His smile was frightening.  For most of the night Joe Biden looked like the Joker -- Nicholson not Ledger.

Vice President Joe Biden is the Joker and the current person a heartbeat away from the Office of President.

The most even handed news report on the debate that I have found is from Richard Wolf which I found at Portland WCSH News.
