VP Debate

From Yahoo:
"Body language: Love or hate him, it was all Joe"

This time, they didn't need Big Bird. Because really, who needed a "Sesame Street" character to grab all the post-debate attention when there was Joe Biden's smile— or laugh, chuckle, grimace, grin, smirk, or "goofy face," according to various descriptions? Whether you loved or hated his performance — a decision that seemed to split (surprise!) along partisan lines — it was Biden who dominated the conversation during and after Thursday's vice-presidential debate, with his animated facial reactions to almost anything his opponent, Paul Ryan, uttered. While many found Biden's grins infectious, some found them immature. "That mugging, those condescending looks — it was a complete turnoff," said body language expert Lillian Glass, author of the upcoming "Body Language Advantage." ''He was bullying, he was smug, he interrupted ... I think he lost a lot of his message based on facial gestures." Even though he's much less experienced than Biden, experts agreed that it was a first good outing for Ryan. "He passed the threshold of being an acceptable vice president — through his command of foreign policy, which is a difficult threshold since he's a domestic policy wonk," said Jamieson. "He was more gentlemanly," said Glass, in Los Angeles. "He looked at the vice president, and didn't ever mug, or make a face."

^ This seems like a very desperate move from a very desperate President and Vice President. Ryan did a great job and even though he is younger than Biden he was the more mature and professional candidate. ^
