Be fair, I just can't watch, I have high blood pressure.

1. Tossup at this point.
Cheney is mean and angry--but he's articulate and getting in some blows. He's far better than Bush was. But Edwards is getting in a few licks, too.

5. Cheney is winning on style LOL
Ol' Dick is a very good liar and he honestly believes his lies and he's the true psychopathic mind behind the Idiot King. He's a tough opponent.

3. Don't be nervous
John is doing great considering he is against one of the biggest political bastards that there is.

4. I'd say so, too
But then it was clear it would be a tougher match than Kerry vs. Chimp. Edwards is up against the Puppeteer.

6. both sides so far will spin as a win
both have gotten in good shots, neither is performing as pathetically as * did on Thursday night, though I don't think anyone thought Cheney would be tongue tied.

9. Cheney has NO energy. He's droning on in a monotone.
Edwards is animated (in a GOOD way--not a freaky * way).

It's hard to tell because I'm not neutral. But Edwards sure make his points in a way that you want to listen to.

When in doubt Cheney just says, "The record speaks for itself."

Damn straight it does, but is that a GOOD thing, dick?

10. Wheeeeeeeee.....pick a thread
there must be 100's of them started over this.

find a movie and pop some corn. Wait 24 hours for the rehash to come around and then sift through it.

Edwards looks fresh, smart and ... well like a fresh start.

Cheeny? SSDD. 'the fact of the matter is.....' then obsfucation of the details...
i feel like if i didn't agree with him he'd smack me one good.

take care.

19. Cheney ignores the questions and talks about what he wants to talk about
He also criticises JEs voting record whenever he is cornered. Weak and it shows

21. John Edwards is winning on truth of the facts.
Dick Cheney is winning on telling the biggest lies.

24. Edwards cleaning Cheney's clock. Don't believe anyone who says otherwise.
Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 09:18 PM by flpoljunkie
Edwards has not missed a beat; he is even stronger than I thought he would be, and I thought he would be strong.

Cheney is obviously on the defensive, breathing heavy, and basically, getting his ass kicked by a man who knows the facts and is taking it to Cheney.

Go, Johnny, go!
