>> finally somebody is cracking down on big bird. >> so you have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving big bird. >> meanwhile, the big-name surrogates were out throwing haymakers on the campaign trail. >> here's old moderate mitt. where you been, boy? i missed you all these last two years. >> let's get you the plane ticket back to chicago you've earned. >> and the veep boys. after some intense warm-up were scrapping in kentucky. >> it has never been done before. >> it's been done a couple of times, actually. jack kennedy lowered. >> now you're jack k...

Is that republicans, by going after biden i think right now on style, that's a little bit of a tell that they know, you know what? biden did sort of control this debate substantively. >> i think he dominated the debate because he was all -- he was in ryan's face the entire time. the question is, again, how that plays with the voters. i am wondering, though, and i was thinking, when i was watching the vice president last night, that he was, you know, he was -- he's being a great teammate. he was doing exactly what the president needed. he was lifting the president up after that performance. but...
