ABC News and Yahoo Live Stream post debate analysis not only mentions Biden’s body language immediately, but also Ryan taking sips of water.

They ask the question: ‘Did Biden perhaps try to over correct Obama’s performance (from last week)?’

Thoughts?

Biden’s closing statement focuses on 47 percent comment. Ryan goes with the ‘time to make a change’ theme. Biden more emotional, Ryan more calm. Thoughts on which message, style won?

Ryan’s bringing it all together under the topic of the national debt. Definitely a strong point for him, as the star of the House budget committee, but will viewers agree that it’s the defining issue?

With the ‘malarky’ count halted at three mentions, I wish I had kept better track of how many times Biden called Ryan and/or Romney his ‘friend.’ Do they hang out?

Biden tries to tie Ryan to Akin’s “legitimate rape” comment. Romney has repudiated Akin’s remarks.

Fact-check: Neither Obama nor his administration referred to Assad as a “reformer,” according to ABC News 4. Bashar Assad, by the way, is the current president of Syria.

Whether laughing or slightly shouting, Biden’s emotions and body language could end up being a huge takeaway from this debate.

Biden getting tough with Raddatz: “You get a little straight with me too.”

Good bye, Laughing Biden. Hello, Angry Biden.

Ryan’s saying his lack of specifics on when he would leave Afghanistan is a way of not broadcasting the U.S.’s strategy to “our enemies.” Biden counters, “that’s a bizarre statement.”

Has Romney always supported the 2014 withdrawal deadline? Mostly, according to PolitiFact.

A lot of “math” tonight, to quote Raddatz.

Like many things politicians say, Obama and Biden’s repeated claim that Ryan-Romney would “voucherize” Medicare is only partially true. People currently in Medicare wouldn’t be affected, but those entering after 2022 could choose between a voucher plan and something similar to what we have now. The biggest change is that Medicare as we know it now may or may not be funded by the money from vouchers. Some people now on Medicaid (not Medicare) now would see reduced benefits.

You would think Ryan and/or Martha Raddatz are doing stand-up with all the laughter coming from Biden. At least the vice president is having a good time.

Interesting how Ryan talks about politicians as though he weren’t one.

Biden is just as aggressive as expected. The only question I have is what will be the perception from analysts: Powerful, dominating and on the attack? Or too much interrupting, laughing and appearing rude?

Ryan to Biden: “Mr. Vice President, I know you are under a lot of duress trying to make up for lost ground…”

Biden is attacking like Obama should have last week. He’s not afraid to interrupt Ryan.

The debate takes a serious turn as Ryan recounts a serious story about Medicare. No chuckling from Biden.

Ryan to Biden: “Sometimes the words don’t come out of your mouth the right way.”

Biden’s rebuttal (laughing): “But I always mean it.”

Biden mentioning Romney’s tax returns and 47 percent comment in same answer made for a powerful soundbite, but his body language during Ryan’s rebuttal, as well as his interruption, could steal tomorrow morning’s headlines.

‘Malarky’ count is up to three.

Considering the negative feedback Obama received for his body language during last week’s debate, it is surprising to see Biden laugh during almost all of Ryan’s answers.

The Republican Party has a trend of picking younger vice presidential candidates. This is the third time since 1988 that the Democratic VP candidate has been at least two decades older than the Republican VP candidate (other two years being 1988 and 2008).

This is the second time in as many weeks that Biden has used the ‘word’ malarky, making it the first two times anyone has ever actually heard the word used in a sentence.
