Oh, so the protester was why Cheney had the awkward very long pause with the neverending fairly weak "4 more years" chant?

Yes. Twelve secret service men took someone down fast and Cheney stopped completely.

There was a look of shock on bystanders' faces. A simple protester mouthing off wouldn't require all that muscle. Wonder if any weapons were displayed?

I didn't think it was awkward! LOL

He had just said he'd have a few things to say about Kerry and Edwards and I thought the pause was for effect and that's how I thought the audience responded.

I didn't know about a protester until these posts and I certainly didn't perceive any awkwardness.

Aha, Cheney names Kerry and is going to quote him (deploying our troops only at the directive of the United Nations)
