Biden's performance did nothing outside of rile his base. That was his goal, I guess, but the Democratic base alone is not going to win Obama his reelection.
I know everyone says undecided voters are idiots, blah blah blah...well those are the voters who will decide this election, and the simple fact is that Biden looked bad. Ryan *literally* could not answer a single question without Biden talking all over him. Whatever substance was in Biden's arguments was lost by his constant interruptions, mocking laughs, and facial expressions.
You can call undecideds idiots all you want, but they are the ones who are going to elect--or not--your candidate. Going after your base is one thing; to go after your base at the expense of the undecideds is just plain stupid, and I think that's what happened with the way Biden handled himself. How hard is it to give your opponent a chance to answer a question and simply attack his answer after he's made it, rather than interrupt him every single time he opens his mouth? Even if what Ryan said was not factual, let him dig his own grave with his lies, don't dig yourself one too!
