Wow, Edwards with a Vietnam reference on behalf of Kerry.

 

Oh my God, he didn't mention Halliburton, did he? This might get ugly as hell.

Jesus, Cheney is taking Kerry and Edwards apart right now. Competely slaughtered them on the whole "90% of all costs" line and is just working over Kerry's record now.

 

I call bullshit on that. He said 50% of the casualties go to Iraqis. Though I agree Cheney is whoopin ass. He uses pauses so much better than Bush did - he looks like he's thinking rather than being stupid

Cheney is doing better than Edwards so far.

 

But Edwards definitely isn't doing too bad himself.

 

I'm shocked. Mike walked into this debate with his preconceived opinions of what will happen - and, by God, amazingly, he seems to think he was right!

 

Annihilation? What a joke.

Edwards hasn't brought ANYTHING outside of the talking points. Nothing else. No facts. No figures. Just the usual talking points.

 

I doubt Cheney could have been prepared for this debate better.

This is gonna be good... Edwards just pulled the "Their coalition sucks!" card. Cheney's response is going to be priceless.

Does Edwards REALLY want to get into the funding problems of the military?

 

Cheney is having a blast undressing him thus far.

Kerry should be thankful that he's got two more go-rounds with Bush and that the VP debate historically has less of an impact than his own. Edwards is taking the unfortunate approach of trying to explain complicated reasons for voting on bills, bringing up lots of minutiae, and he's not doing a very good job of it. It's the exact opposite of how Kerry succeeded so well in the first debate. Cheney's staying simple and displaying a mammoth knowledge of the nation's history, contextualizing everything he's saying and looking like the guy in control.

 

East-coast debate scorecard: Edwards 24, Cheney a weak 26.

"This war HAS been going well."

 

"More soldiers have died in Iraq in September than they did in August. More soldiers have died in Iraq in August than they did in July. More soldiers have died in July than they did in June. How are things going well?"

 

I don't know. To me, that seems to do a pretty good job of going against Cheney's claims of how the war is under control.

 

I'm not saying Edwards is winning. Cheney is.

 

But it's a complete fucking joke if you think Cheney is annihilating Edwards.

Hell, even I could admit when Bush wasn't looking great on Thursday.

 

And Edwards keeps mentioning the already-very-discredited numbers ad infinitum.

When Cheney looks pissed, it doesn't look bad. When Bush looks pissed, it does.

Well you know the insurgents are becoming more desperate by the month as much 'paper tigers' as they (and Bin Laden) think we are. So that's expected................

Edwards is speaking very well, his points are flowing very smoothly -however, at this point, he isn't bringing anything new to the table. Cheney is. The Democrats relaxed and thought they could rest with the points Kerry won it. The Republicans stepped it up.

 

+2 on the Shock n Awe.

 

+1 on the Homeland and 911 Commission

 

Better watch out, Edwards is getting relaxed.

I hate to say this, but Edwards is to Kerry what Quayle was to Bush (1st),

 

Thankfully (my opinion) John Kerry isn't Michael Dukakis
