Seems like Joe Biden won by a 60/40 margin, making up for Obama's weak first presidential debate.
Perhaps a low hurdle for Joe since the media has painted him as such a liability, and foot in the mouth type.
The age juxtaposition seems extreme and makes Ryan look very young.
Joe was red-lining though, and was condescending with his "my friend" repetition.
What do you think?

From what I saw, Biden looked more fitting of the role. Ryan looked very young and I think he let Biden bully him a little bit. Biden was definitely a better talker. Ryan sounded rushed. Biden lost a lot of points for me with his interruping and how found everything that Ryan said so amusing. It would have been fine if he pulled his 'oh my gosh did he really say that' look out a couple times, but he had it going every time Ryan talked, which got really annoying.
But I have to be honest, I didn't watch the whole thing, because at 9:37 I flipped over to see the TIGERS WIN!

I think that Biden won in the sense that he was able to control all of the topics and get his full point across. At the same time, he was able to answer (but not really refute) most of Ryan's points. Unfortunately (for him), he did this by being a jerk, laughing at every point Ryan made, and interrupting both Ryan and the moderator. He was extremely rude and condescending, and most of his talk was just rhetoric that he new would reach his supporters (especially with his looking into the camera and "asking" people questions). I though that Ryan explained himself fairly well, but he did little to counter the talking points of Biden (almost like he was trying to be too nice or professional).
I think my opinion about who not to vote for became even more solidified from that debate.

I'd probably say Biden won it. The moderator definitely did a better job keeping the two accountable for actually answering the questions more directly than Jim Lehrer.

I agree with this – although Ryan continued to avoid some of the pointed questions about how they would pay for a couple items.
