I second Jim Geraghty’s Republican strategist from last night:

I think Biden did a very good job. To be perfectly honest, when he talks about foreign policy, and talks with some level of economy, he sounds more wise than other Democrats running. He won the three second clip on the nightly news by prudently saying “yes” to avoid gaffes. He made me chuckle, and I don’t really like him…

Gravel even threw and extra dig at him for taking the Iraq issue more seriously than others (even if he’s wrong too…).

Joe Biden has this tendency to be positively awful but oddly likeable.

I might be crazy, but clearly I’m not the only one.
