I'm just going to repeat my Biden take from earlier, since nothing he did in the final 20 minutes was very memorable, which is that I'm not sure how all of this is going to be received by voters at home? I said at the start of the evening that I thought he needed to project confidence. There are a lot of ways to do that. One of which is not saying that the beginning of the debate that you expect to lose New Hampshire. But for the rest of the debate, we got a feistier, brawlier side of Biden, which projects a sort of confidence, and I think otherwise also might not be a bad strategy for him under the circumstances. But I'm not sure it was always executed all that smoothly. I want to see our post-debate poll. My sense is that he might have limited his downside more than he helped his upside.
