    Your Reactions to the VP Debate

    There is another vice-president thread but I thought I would create a thread meant to focus purely on your opinions and reactions to the debate between Cheney and Edwards.


    I must say, that I was very disappointed with some of Edwards performance during the debate. There were a couple of times when I shouted to my television for Edwards to control his reactions.

    Well from what I read by people so far (left and right), Cheney cleaned up. Told you so .

      But you still support Kerry and Edwards right? I mean, I am disappointed with Edwards, but that's no reason for me to withdraw my support for him and Kerry.

        Cheney made a huge deal about the Senate records of Kerry and Edwards. This can only be bad for them.

          I'm undecided, and I think Cheney shredded Edwards. But why does that really matter?

            Dick "Warhorse" Cheney clearly won.

              Basically a tie, but Edwards wins slightly in style and expectations.

                Edwards scored a big hit when he illustrated Cheney's Congressional record. But he only really did it once or twice; he should have gone back to it every time Cheney went after their voting records.

                  Who the Hell cares about VP? The position is only to get votes.

                    I think Edwards did better than what some here say. He's better than Dan Quayle. Besides, even though they will be a heartbeat away, this debate means little in the scheme of things.
                    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                      If you don't remember, Dan, except for that "You're no Jack Kennedy" line, Quayle did very well in his VP debates.

                        Who could argue with that?

                          That was a great line.

                            Cheney is far more knowledgeable and articulate than Bush, but he continued in Bush's faith-based style: "We're better than you are. Cause I said so. So there." There were no zingers, but Edwards consistently provided clearer content than Cheney: "Here are the things we would do differently from the present administration." Cheney wasn't too bad, but he really didn't have a lot to say except "I think this, I claim that."
