I had thought that might change just a little after 9/11.

But the talking abilities of Edwards the trial lawyer gave him a built-in advantage that Cheney could not overcome.

Would anyone have guessed that Edwards was a successful trial lawyer from watching him last night? I doubt it.

As far as "talking ability" goes, Cheney's delivery was smoother and his arguments were better structured.

This column by Michael Goodwin is the written equivalent of the online poll-spamming we saw last night by Democrat activists -- totally divorced from the reality of what took place in the debate, a cheap attempt to manipulate public opinion in Edwards' favor.

Right Joe Lockhardt has no choice but to keep saying Kerry is winning if he has any chance of getting back into this race.

"What is this strange fixation of some freepers have in spewing hyper critism at OUR guys while completely ignoring how pathtic the SUBSTACE was in either Kerry or Edwards"?

There are many faux Freepers that are actually dim operatives posting here. "Some" even have old sign-up dates!

I think the wild turkey may have another agenda.

Cheney, like Bush, looked bored, tired and not motivated.

If you were them, would you have any respect for those two?
Bush and Cheney were probably sick to their stomachs from smelling Kerry and Edwards putrid perfumes and toxic hair sprays!

Kerry is talking this week off to "rest" for the next debate. There's the botox injections, trim, pedicures, bikini trimming, ex foliating....so many beatitudes, so little time.

On espn.com there is a link to a "Page 2 story" with a link "Second Guessing Tuesday's Games." Toward the bottoom of the page is this: I'm including the paragraphs that precede it and that follow it

"Anybody who forgets to mention Torii Hunter in the Andruw Jones-Jim Edmonds-Junior Griffey (in his prime) debate."

"The way Vice President Cheney kept bringing his hands up to his chin as he spoke? Nothing says 'unfamiliar with the process' more than muffled sound in a debate."

"Posada running on Hunter and sliding straight-up instead of down and dirty, the way he should have, with a belly flop and an outstretched arm. "

Here is the link

I sent an email expressing my discomfort. What a gratuitous non-sequitor or something.

It is apparent that this writer accidentally watched "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and mistook it for the debate. Edwards came off like a teenage girl talking about the perm she just got at the mall.

Edwards was indecisive and couldn't stay on the topic of the question. He obviously couldn't figure out what the rules for the debate were even though they were explained to him clearly, more than once.

Cheney was concise and on topic. He didn't waste his time with ridiculous statements made by Edwards. This was clearly a victory for Cheney.

As someone who was critical of Bush's debate with Kerry, I think Cheney came back strong and hit Kerry/Edwards on their lame records and lack of substance. Cheney did really good last night. I completely disagree with your assessment of the debate last night. Also, in reality to how harsh I have been on Bush's debate last week-if people read the transcript, Kerry isn't all that. Bush campaign needs to hit Kerry back on WHAT he said.

[aught-6]

Edwards stayed on offense most of the night

Yeah, and what about Halliburton.......

[Signalman]

What the heck was this guy snorting last night? Did he see the same debate I did? This is unreal.

[cyncooper]

I wonder what color the sky is in this writer's world?

I will never look at John Edwards again and not hear "Where is Thumbkin?" in my head. Thank you Laura Ingraham. LOL

Yes. Immediately after their arrest, Lynne Stewart will issue a Press Release declaring the suspicious nature of the Timing of the arrests since "OBL and Al-Zawahiri have been supporting Senator Kerry openly for Months."


Bush Wins all 50 states.lol

[The Old Hoosier]

What debate did this guy watch?

[ArmyBratproud]

Here's how it really went down...

[concerned about politics]

Edwards was indecisive and couldn't stay on the topic of the question.

Every time Cheney nailed him, he changed the subject to something else....
"Yes, I avoided paying taxes, but....but..... Haliberton!!"
"Yes, we need to fight terrorism, but....but....millions are without health care!"

[teletech]

Yes. Immediately after their arrest, Lynne Stewart will issue a Press Release declaring the suspicious nature of the Timing of the arrests since "OBL and Al-Zawahiri have been supporting Senator Kerry openly for Months."

Bush Wins all 50 states.lol

Bush winning all 50 states works for me! GO BUSH/CHENEY GO!!!

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

The left became laughable months ago. I sort of enjoy it when they so clearly demonstrate their dishonesty and desperation.

It has gotten to a degree of absurdity that a child could recognize.

It may play well with the other Demons, but do the normal people out there buy it? I don't think so.

[cyncooper]

Your despair has almost moved me to tears! Where are my tissues? I need a hanky! Oh, woe is me. We're DOOOOOOOOOMED. DOOMED, I say!
