LA CROSSE, Wis. Last night Carl Koch found himself smiling at the television screen as Vice President Joe Biden aggressively debated Rep. Paul Ryan in Kentucky.
Koch, a retired rancher no relation to the Koch brothers said he was looking for just the kind of performance Biden gave.
I was hoping he would take the issues to Ryan, said Koch, who spent the morning registering voters for the Obama campaign. I certainly cheered him on. I was smiling most of the time [during the debate] except when Ryan was talking.
The packed standing room of about 2,000 Obama-Biden supporters at the University of WisconsinLa Crosse were excited that they would be the first to hear from Biden after the sole vice presidential debate of the campaign season.
I was rooting for him, said Jackie Brown, a 59 year-old counselor who lives in La Crosse. I had been rather sad because I dont hear the media asking those questions.

(4,551 posts)That's important, and hopefully it will begin to show up in the polls.
But it's not enough.
Obama has to do his part now. He has to win the next 2 debates.
He has to bring back some of the voters who have gone to Romney. Voters are waiting right now. They are watching and waiting to see if Obama is able to beat Romney.
Nate Silver says Romney is still making gains and that his debate bounce is not receding.
Romney had the night of his life last week. Now Obama needs 1 or 2 of those!
