Man, how did Van Jones get on a panel? Gotta give him credit for taking advantage of his 15 minutes.

Serious question, do you guys think this will move the needle?
I'm not being an ass either.
With all this tie nonsense, I'm genuinely curious what you think.

Biden was way too condescending, it'll be interesting to see what viewers think. Still, he clearly controlled the debate. Some of that was due to him talking over Ryan, but a lot of it had to do with Ryan seeming out of his league.
I'm not wrong often but when I am, I admit it. I thought Biden was going to bomb. Obviously polls might show Ryan won, but from my perspective - even if I were to think about it objectively - Biden clearly knocked that out the park
Can Biden debate Romney, please?

Tomorrow? Yes. After next Tuesday, it all rides on Obama/Romney
I dunno, they'll only be able to keep this tie shit up for tonight. Once the polls come in there will be no denying the ether Biden dropped all over Ryan.

has calmed down a bit.
Complained about time too much and the grinning early on wore thin, but otherwise a killer debate performance for the Vice President.

No, but hopefully liberals found their balls.

No idea. But it will energize the Democratic base.
Its a morale boost, and a sense of justice to see lies called out for the bullshit they are, without flowery words.
Put every last iota of the blame on Obama for letting his own people down. Its his fault the polls have changed, and nobody else's.
Biden came to fight, and thats what we need, and have always needed.
If there's a way to portray this performance as unprofitable for Obama, you'll find it.

Who's moderating the next presidential debate?
It'll probably have little to no effect on the polls. It's all on the debate Tuesday.

This will help with Democratic enthusiasm and Democratic leaning independents.

WHAT THE FUCK BLITZER? YOU POS
Probably not too much, but it'll stop the democrat base from crying themselves to sleep every night.

Won't stop picking the right nation
Forcing Ryan to defend the 47% statement was a great decision (though I don't think Biden had much of a choice).

Best exchange of the night:
MODERATOR: "What does 'stuff' mean?"
BIDEN: "It means...inaccurate."
RYAN: "It's Irish..."

9/10 for Biden. A little smug looking (and for good reason, Romney/Ryan deserve it but still), but Ryan won't be able to sit straight for a week.

If Biden didn't back up his laughing and interruptions, it could have gone bad. But he did back it up and I think a large number of independents will think positively of it. I doubt this VP debate will has as major of an effect on the polls, but it could put a halt to Romney's rise.
I saw other GOPers taking that line on Twitter. They'd better hope it sticks because Biden creamed Ryan on substance.
I think it stops the bleeding, cold. It's up to Obama to start the healing, or reopen the wound.
Pretty much what I'd expect CNBC to say.

IMO the hardest hitting attack of the night was when Biden hit Ryan on sending him letters asking for stimulus money, that was brutal

I know cause Romney wasn't doing any of that last week!
She performed satisfactorily despite a few mistakes. My only objections were how she framed a few of the foreign policy questions.
I don't doubt that. But somewhere...someone didn't. And that could cost Obama.

I think it was fine - he was drawing a difference between allowing a moral exception and scientifically defining life. Not really different from being a Christian and not being for killing people, but supporting the death penalty in certain instances.
