Forty-eight percent of voters who watched the vice presidential debate think that Rep. Paul Ryan won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC International nationwide poll conducted right after Thursday night's faceoff. Forty-four percent say that Vice President Joe Biden was victorious. The Republican running mate's four point advantage among a debate audience that was more Republican than the country as a whole is within the survey's sampling error.

I didn't watch the whole debate (flipping back and forth from it to baseball) but what I saw was a toddler going up against a statesman. I've been looking for a word to succinctly describe VP Candidate Gilligan. I think I have it. The word is smarmy.
