I thought the reason he used kid's gloves against Palin, was because he didn't need more, to out-debate her. And he had to worry about backlash from "victimizing" Palin if he was seen as being too hard on her.

Maybe you or someone else who's watched Biden a lot can tell me, watching senate debates I thought Biden's style was a lot more jovial and less angry whether sincere or not. Or maybe there's a better way to put it.

I think overall he did not considering how "he is"...a boisterous, aggressive politician. He wouldnt be VP or senator for as long as he has been if he was a true asshole.

regardless of the theatrics, Biden knows his stuff very well. He brought much more substance in his debate than Ryan. He didnt let Ryan get away with abstracts, Biden spoke to facts. Afgan withdrawn and Iran nuclear arguements were good examples.
