Pretty crappy.
Both Eagleton and Lieberman are light years better than Palin, Quayle, Pence, and Agnew.

(5,737 posts)4. The hell you say. Very much the same. Cheney did to Lieberman what Benson did to Quayle.
Cheney spanked him in their debate. Evidently so much that Lieberman fell in love with anything Cheney said or did after that. Eagleton had more issues than simple depression also. Agnew was a very intelligent man, but not as good at hiding things as Nixon was.
