Someone, maybe Rove, compared the debate to the Nixon / Kennedy debate, the people who listened on the radio thought that Nixon won.

I was listening part of the time on the radio while driving around doing errands...I could hear Biden laughing, making sarcastic remarks under his breath while Ryan was trying to speak.

[I still care]

I was listening to the Obama/Romney debate in another room and did not think O did as bad as everyone said he did. I watched later on TV and totally changed my mind.

It's all in the visuals. It's why we have emoticons in messages, because just the words don't really convey the entire truth of what is being said.

Biden was so incredibly disrespectful last night - liberals run on feelings, and my guess is he turned a lot of women off last night.

Krauthammer also gave an excellent analysis on that. He said if you simply read the transcript, it appeared to be a draw because both made their points. If you listened to the debate on radio, Biden probably seemed more effective and maybe even the winner. But if you watched the debate on TV, Ryan was the clear winner because he made his points with respect whereas Biden was distracting and obnoxious.
