The single vice presidential debate is over – a swift, lively, and contentious exchange between Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Congressman Paul Ryan, a Republican.
Now it's your turn. How did the candidates do? Joe Biden with his talk of "malarkey," and Paul Ryan with his workmanlike demeanor.
And what did you think of Martha Raddatz, the moderator?
Have you been swayed? Let us know in the comments.

I think Ryan won the debate, though I admit to being biased.
The vice president was extremely disrespectful and wanted to show Ryan as a upstart kid but the VP did not have enough facts on his side and Ryan did.
Never the less, this is a contest over the future course of America. Do we want to continue down a path of dependency on government and ever escalating debt or move toward increasing entrepeneurship, creativity, and innovation by maximizing economic freedom and creating greater opportunity?
