The race: No fundamental change. Which is better news for Obama than McCain.
That's all for instant-analysis. On to the next debate.
Update: How was it, considered strictly as a debate? Of course Biden did a far better job -- he answered the questions rather than moving straight to talking points, he drew on a vastly broader range of factual references, he attacked his opponents in ways that were relevant to the subject under discussion. But this is not how the event was being watched or scored.
He's saying the race didn't change but that could mean he think debates don't matter, especially not VP debates. With that said, he still says if the race stays the same it helps Obama. On top of that when he personally scores it as a debate, which is what we're asking here, he says "Biden did a far better job."
