1. President Barack Obama is defending Vice President Joe Biden against criticism of his remarks that Republican repeal of Wall Street regulations would put voters "back in chains."

4. The White House has to worry that for the next 82 days Joe Biden will be under tremendous scrutiny especially given the fact that Paul Ryan has become such a media-attention magnet. Everyone is anticipating the October 11 debate between Biden and Ryan. Bidens penchant for off-the-cuff remarks doesnt inspire confidence that he wont unintentionally blurt something out when facing Ryan.
5. So Democrats are stuck with Old Joe, who will turn 70 this November. Its said that few people vote for a presidential ticket based on who is filling the No. 2 slot. But some do, and they may matter in a very close race. Its likely that by the time this campaign ends, a lot of people will be more nervous about Joe Biden being a heartbeat away from the presidency than about Paul Ryan.
