[old and tired]

Tthe most interesting thing to me today is that both the Washington Post and NY Times front page articles were concerned how Biden's behavior would be perceived by independents. So if even the lapdogs in the press are admitting the behavior was somewhat bizarre, it makes me wonder if last night for the Obama team was really all about firing up the liberal base. And if you go and read the comments on the two liberal rags, Biden's performance certainly did seem to fire them up.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but I'm wondering if Team 0 accomplished exactly what it set out to do last night?

At this stage of the campaign, if you feel a desperate need to fire up your base, you’re losing. Badly.

Probably.

The dems need reason to turnout for a disaffected voter base. I think they are misunderstanding their appeal last time.

Bush fatigue and the unknown quantity of our lighter than air president, The Won, plus a fair bit of carney barker push and rumble got the base PLUS independents and undecides to vote.

The same people who voted for him have grown up and graduated from college into a horrible job market, the Indies have had enough, and the base is not as enthusiastic.

Biden’s performance appealed to the base, but it damaged them badly with those who are unaffiliated.

I think this was a terrific move for the GOP.

Thanks, Ax. I’ve only seen three homes with Obama signs in NOVA this time. I think NOVAs are voting Green which is the same as saying, “No confidence.”

I know quite a few are voting Libertarian.
