After his strong appearance in the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney sailed on his momentum throughout the week. According to the last polls, he managed to gain the lead in a few of the national as well as some state-wide polls in swing states. With the vice presidential debate as the next big event on this year’s election-calendar, it was up to Vice President Joe Biden to make up for lost ground and halt Romney’s momentum. For Ryan on the other hand, yesterday’s debate marked the biggest event of his political career and a unique opportunity to introduce himself on the national stage. Much was at stake for both combatants and they were sure to fight fiercely. And so they did from the beginning, talking over each other and interrupting while the other was speaking.
