I agree about the VPs having little effect on the ticket. However, I think Ryan needs to prevent Biden from gaining any momentum for Obama leading into the second debate. I expect Obama to improve his performance in the second debate but he has his work cut out for him.
But I am not sure what kind of dent this would put in the polls. Obama has a comfortable lead in Ohio. He knows that is basically all he needs. And quite frankly it showed in his debating. He debated like a man who thinks he doesn't have to fight. IMO, he takes votes for granted.
