Washington (CNN) -- At times it seemed as if Martha Raddatz, who moderated Thursday's vice presidential debate, was the third debater.

White House records reveal
that the moderator of last night's vice presidential debate, Martha
Raddatz, visited Vice President Joe Biden at his official residence on
March 26, 2012. Raddatz is an employee of ABC News.
As
the records show, that day Raddatz visited the VPR (or, the vice
president's residence) for a "Women's History Month Reception." That
record was released on June 29, 2012.
According to Biden's schedule released the day before the event, "the Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will host a reception in honor of Women’s History Month at the Naval Observatory."
There appears to be no pool report from the event, which presumably was widely attended, that might have recorded the details from the events.
On at least one other occasion, Raddatz visited the White House. According to records, that visit was on December 18, 2009. The reason for that visit is not know, though her meeting appears to have taken place in the Old Executive Office Building, and not the West Wing.
Before last night's debate, Raddatz came under scrutiny after the Daily Caller revealed she had attended President Barack Obama's wedding in 1991 with her now ex-husband, Obama administration official Julius Genachowski.

Body language: Love or hate him, it was all Joe

NEW YORK (AP) -- This time, they didn't need Big Bird.
Because
really, who needed a "Sesame Street" character to grab all the
post-debate attention when there was Joe Biden's smile- or laugh,
chuckle, grimace, grin, smirk, or "goofy face," according to various
descriptions?
