As much as I hate to say it, I think Biden did what he did on purpose last night. I think they felt like they had some big ground to catch up after Obama got routed by Romney in the first debate. Yes he was rude and disrespectful but for the most part, only the Republican followers are going to be seeing it this way. The democratic followers loved every second of that last night and what last night did for the democrats is took a lot of independent voters and pushed them towards voting for the Obama/Biden ticket. (I hope that isn't the case but that is how I see it playing out). The one thing that I wish Ryan would have done to prevent what I feel happened with the independent voters is stop talking, looked that clown Biden in the face and told him he was being very disrespectful and to let him talk. If he would have put Biden in his place, I think the rest of the debate would have went better for the Republican party. IMO
