I thought that Paul Ryan won the VP debate. That is not much of a surprise, because even though I am a registered Democrat in DE I am voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket.
I thought Ryan won the debate because VP Biden acted like a bully and a very old, senile, and bordering on alzheimers bully. There is something wrong with VP Biden. He was not coherent and Ryan would not take the baits of the Vice President to engage in a shouting match where Rep. Ryan would lose his temper and lose the debate. If Ryan had obliged, he would have definitely lost more than the debate. Have you checked the polls lately Yahoo has Romney up by 2.7 points and for the first time in months Obama does not have enough electoral votes to win the election. Romney is also up by 7 points in Florida and the President can not win the election without Florida. Ohio is also close.
All I know is that VP Biden was very disrespectful and treated Rep. Ryan like a bug on his shoe. I voted for Biden many times in DE for the U.S. Senate. I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher now. I will say again he is a bully. And I still consider myself a swing voter even though I am a Democrat, who might still change my mind and vote for Obama. But not because of Biden. I can't stand him. I can't wait for the next two presidential debates, because the President is going to be under a lot of pressure to win them.
One final thought. Don't pay too much attention to these polls. This election could be like the Carter-Reagan contest where Carter was up in the polls to the very last minute and Reagan won the election. Romney could still surprise and win the election no matter what the polls show the day before Election Day because all they do is take a random sampling of voter preferences and that in my opinion is not an indicator of what will happen on Election Day.
