Early Reaction To VP Debate

Courtesy of Matt Drudge's drudgereport.com, we learn that a CNN poll finds 48% thought Ryan won, 44% believed Biden won. I suppose that means 8% called it a tie or had no opinion.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace called Biden's behavior "disrespectful" and "contemptuous," as reported by Business Insider. CNN's Gloria Borger called Biden's behavior "condescending" and spoke of his excessive chuckling and eye-rolling, as reported on RealClearPolitics.

Fox News senior analyst Brit Hume characterized Biden's behavior in the following way, as reported by RealClearPolitics:

I thought it was rude and I have a feeling it will come across to a lot of people as rude. It looked like a cranky old man to some extent debating a polite young man.
