(LA Times) Vice presidential debate: All things considered, it was Biden's night

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-vice-presidential-debate-a-win-for-biden-20121011,0,2773626.story

"...I would still give Biden the edge on foreign policy because he managed to insinuate that Romney and Ryan are either itching to go to war with Iran and send troops to Syria, or pretending to be more hawkish than the Obama administration for crass political purposes. Paired with Biden’s insistence that the U.S. is getting out of Afghanistan in 2014 whatever happens, those comments suggest that the Democrats believe voters are weary of war and wary of saber-rattling."

He is a very gifted debater. I bet he'd be great even against President Clinton.
Not that they'd have a reason to debate, but I can't think of any other's who
could match Joe from either side of the aisle.
