some say he shouldn t be in that mode on the day of the debate. that s the republicans increase lig full-floated argument why the president should be replaced as the economy s gotten better it s harder for them to make a straight economic argument and simpson is giving voice to what you hear a lot not just the romney campaign, it s about leadership overseas, leadership at home and alan simpson says said in his colorful manner. pithy way. maggie you ve been writing for politico on five things to watch tonight. what are you watching for tonight? the main thing i m watching for is how joe biden performs we all are. joe biden has gotten this reputation, somewhat deserved as a gaffe machine but that s not what he does in debates. in debates he s more skilled, controlled. a huge stage for paul ryan. we re going to be looking for how joe biden addresses the issue of seniors and medicare, we re going to be look at how paul ryan carries those attacks and how he s able defend the

michaels. exactly. i yield the floor. i wasn t surprised because barack obama had not debate in four years and not forced in a primary context to shape his arguments as offensive argumentser defensive his offensive arguments, his defensive arguments, that s something you usually get in the primary process. that was something true of bush in 2004. there were some challenges there. i would have agreed with that expectations assessment with biden before the first debate, but now i think that biden has significant pressure in this debate to kind of try to break this cycle, this downward slide and to show that the campaign has spirit and fight in it. that, i think, raises the expectations on biden in a little bit in a way that wouldn t have been true before the first debate. and mike feldman, do you want to take a shot at that, the sort of strange performance and the fact that democrats were really
