But the Dem bloggers and pundits are happy, not to say joyous, and it's clear why: Joe took it to Romneyryan with authority. All the noise about smiling and interrupting, and how that might affect undecided voters--well, the CBS poll tells you. They saw it for what it was: Biden reacting to Ryan's lies, obfuscations and confusions.
Joe hit the main marks hard: Medicare especially, but also women's rights. Right now it's all about women in Ohio. As a bonus, he showed how dangerously vacuous the GOPer ticket is on foreign policy. Plus he pushed Romneyryan back hard right on Social Security, Roe v. Wade, etc.
What everybody noticed is that this was the performance the Dems needed to renew their enthusiasm and self-belief, let alone self confidence. It will mean a lot.
President Obama earlier made a fiery speech in Florida, which bodes well for the next debate, not even a week away.
I'm not linking much this time because for some reason my Internet connection is incredibly slow.
But I can't leave without saying a word about those SF Giants. Buster grand slam! Matt Cain! Hanging on to become the first NL team to win this series with 3 straight victories on the road. The A's couldn't master Verlander, though. And the Orioles and Washington have victories to remember regardless of what happens tomorrow.
