Does anyone else feel like I do?

Ok, I watched the debate and it was clear Joe Biden won. Then I watched between
MSNBC, Current TV, and CNN and many of the pundits are saying either it was tied
or Ryan won. You know after an entire week of Obama being crucified for a not
so stellar 'performance', yet he was factual, and the polls showing Romney making
gains all over the place, I turned my TV off. Enough already. I live in Iowa and have
already voted so that is all I can do. It seems like common sense and reality have gone
to the way side. It feels like Kerry/Edwards all over again.

I think our country is severely divided. One side is about truth and the other
is brain washed and self-righteous.

debater, and there is no doubt about that. Ryan had his ass handed to him, and Biden stepped in when he should have and smacked him again.

mostly tuned to something else, once it was over.

I watched the debate and then did not watch the commentary and I'm sitting here now just listing the points that were made well enough that I can remember them (took no notes during the debate). Anyway, I'm up to 6 points on which Biden scored. Having a little trouble remembering anything that Ryan said, but I will try harder.

So just on that somewhat informal measure, your average viewer, who doesn't listen to pundits, would have a higher probability chance of seeing Biden as more impressive of the two.
