Democrats wanted an aggressive Joe Biden at the vice presidential debate here, and they got one. In stark contrast to President Obamas listless performance against Mitt Romney in Denver on Oct. 3, Biden came out of the gate on the attack against Paul Ryan and stayed on offense throughout the 90-minute debate.
Bidens central message to the audience watching: you cant trust what the Romney-Ryan ticket says. On issue after issue, Biden told viewers to compare the two teams running for president and trust their instincts when it comes to who will look out for the middle class.
Look, folks, use your common sense, Biden said during a discussion of entitlements.

My father was respectful and in command of the debate, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, the vice presidents son, said. I was very, very proud of him.
