vp Debate made little different either way. Unless obama produces best performance of his life on tuesday , mitt romney will be the 45th president of the united states of america.I just checked RCP they have Romney at +1.3 before the debate it was Romney + 1.5 no real change here so far.
Ordinarily VP debates don't affect anything. This one was different. Biden was so over the top that no VP has ever behaved that way in a debate before. obama's old reliable was women. Biden lost that for him. Now obama has a much harder debate performance because he has to distance himself from Biden. obama has a tendency to respond to criticism by being condescending and mocking. If he retreats into this kind of defensive posture he'll be "just like Biden".
If you honestly think that Biden was over the top, then you have to concede that Romney was also over the top, as their tactics and behavior were very similar.
