Republicans wasted no time trying to score points on the Vice Presidential debate just as they did in the first Obama-Romney debate, by calling attention to the off camera demeanor of Vice President Biden.

Last week in Denver, the GOP quickly produced a video that showed President Obama looking down and avoiding eye contact repeatedly with Mitt Romney; this time, the GOP stitched together a video of Biden chuckling and laughing as GOP running mate Paul Ryan answered different questions.

The Associated Press story on Biden had an interesting take: "With mocking smile and wagging finger, Biden walks line between aggressive and domineering."

Leave your opinion on Biden's debate performance, and what about his smiles and laughs - was it like Al Gore's sighs and head shakes in 2000, or nothing that really deserves extra post-debate scrutiny?
