I would bet Mitt won't even shake his hand. He wouldn't want the Mark of Cain to rub off on him or some nonsense such as that.

President Obama also has this ability to 'dead pan' - it's slight. Go back to those debate videos from McCain. Joe Biden just gives a big smile when he knows his opponent is an idiot spouting nonsense. Obama kind of 'blinks', twitches, smiles and gives a response. He's waiting for the right moment to land the verbal punch, then when he does - he does it with such finesse and grace.
