I have this funny feeling that just about nobody will remember very much about what they heard during the vice presidential debate, but they’ll remember what they saw. First, on substance, there was no clear winner (though Vice President Biden's assertion that the Obama administration wasn't told about requests for more security in Libya before the attacks that left four Americans dead, strains belief). So if you liked Biden going in, you probably thought he won. If you liked Ryan, you figured he came out ahead. But this was one of those times when style, I think, will trump substance. So even if there wasn’t a winner, there may have been a loser.
