I do think its a little difficult to switch gears from campaign mode to debate mode - he did start to slip back into campaign mode a couple of times. But there is no question that he has a command of the facts and was ready to rebut Romney.
I think Joe Biden is exceptional. He has a command of the facts and he's fast.

it works for Biden because it's who he is and people know that. it would't work for anyone else where they did not have that type of personality. they would come off horribly.
Obama did very well for who he is.
