Biden explains his one word answer
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, know for being verbose, got the first big laugh of the night when he was asked about verbal gaffes he has made, and whether he could "reassure voters in this country that (he) would have the discipline (he) would need on the world stage." Biden responded by saying "yes" followed by a long pause.

Following the debate, Biden explained his one word answer: "look, how do you answer that question. The fact of the matter is that the American people are going to make the judgment, not the press, on whether I talk to much or too little and so I think it was the appropriate answer."

-- CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
