The vice-presidential debate offered a refreshing change from the combative tone that has plagued our political discourse in recent years. While that was a relief for many viewers, did either candidate do enough to change any votes? Despite pundits highlighting the strengths of the two VP candidates, last week’s debate ultimately had little impact on undecided voters. Lee Carter shares analysis and takeaways from her live focus group in this piece for FoxNews.com.
