closing statements said it all: the 'Silky Pony' trying to be urbane and folksy at once - as is his wont - selling a new car to the family that really wants/needs self-protection, while the Veep looked us dead in the eye and said, Folks - we didn't start it, but we're a-gonna finish it.
as other freepers are noting - difference between a crafty, slick high-school debater and a real, decision-making-and-got-the-white-hair-to-prove-it man.
Kerry can always get a job selling Infinity's after the election is over. But Edwards will have to settle for pushing used Plymouths on unsuspecting little old ladies.
