[escapefromboston]

[Pancho Righty]

Leave it to a trial lawyer to talk about the Lurch-Breck ticket's record and "strength" with a straight face!!

[Jorge]

Cheney talks about him being a no-show, Edwards starts dropping votes Cheney made. Disconnect?

Edwards is sounding really juvenile in his responses.

[rightinthemiddle]

Oooo....Dick just teased us with the term "litgation."

Look out, Johnny, you weasel of a trial lawyer sapping money from employers and employees alike...Dick is coming for you.

[don-o]

45 more minutes for Cheney will cuff this pup hard.

[Wormwood]

IF Cheney:

1. Voted against Head Start
2. Voted against the Dept of Education
3. Voted against the Mandella resolution

Then he should NOT be Vice President...

He should be King!.

THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU IS TONIGHT !!! YIKES !!!

[cyncooper]

Cheney: As VP I serve as president of the Senate. I'm there on the floor most Tuesdays. The first time I ever met you was here tonight!

Edwards says Cheney voted against meals on wheels for seniors! Also mentioned Nelson Mandela.

LOL

Cheney says Edwards' career not very distinguished.

Oops, Gwen addresses question to Cheney and he asks if it shouldn't be for Edwards. She says no, her question had started out to Edwards about Israel though it didn't get addressed much. Edwards interrupts to say HE addressed it by Cheney didn't, thereby making himself look the clown as Cheney murmurs a dignified "I concede your point".

[AFPhys]

Cheney is hammering him, and Edwards is getting a bit rattled... nervous laughter now.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Mark the time. 9:45 p.m. Eastern. The main quote will be the "I did not see you in person until tonight, as President of the Senate". Cheney bitchslapped Edwards really good one that one. Edwards thrown off tracked. Nervously grabbed for coffee while flapping his wings off about Israel. A great psy war slap...that will be one of the most memorable outtakes of this VP debate.

[Huber]

Hit these polls after the debate!! Multiple poll links provided!

[skutter]

[deadhead]

"I am the President of the Senate. The first time I ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight."

Wow, Vice President Cheney is knocking Edwards into tomorrow. First time he met Edwards was tonight, amazing. I am so proud of Cheney, he is doing GREAT! Also loved when Cheney referenced Edwards hometown, think he said they refer to him as "Senator Gone"
