Cheney VS. Edwards
10/04/04 | Lothor

Posted on 10/04/2004 12:00:56 PM PDT by lothor

Does anyone have any views on Tuesday's debate ?

Do you think that Cheney will let things slide the way Bush did ?

I think it would be a great boost if Cheney could catch Edwards contradicting some of Kerry's viewpoints in the first debate.

Thoughts ?

Drudge thinks all Edwards has to do is repeat Halliburton. It would certainly preach to the democratic base.

I bet Cheney does real well and stays aggressive and on message against Edwards. Boy Wonder is going to make some mistakes and Cheney will be there to pour on the gasoline. I am sure somehow the press will anoint Edwards as the victor, but this format bids well for Cheney. He is in command of the facts, foreign policy, and he has a silver tongue to boot. If you care about issues Cheney will do real well.

I think both will be very sharp. Of course on issues Cheney will be right but don't expect Silky Pony to be a pushover.

VP Cheney thinks johnjohn is cute as a buttom. He'll probably go easy on him.

1988 - Benson to Quayle: "I knew John Kennedy... He was a freind of mine... You're no John Kennedy..."

2004 - Edwards to Cheney: "I know John Kennedy... I can feel him talking to me right now..."

Cheney will do better than Bush, but remember, Edwards is a trial lawyer, used to buttering up a jury. Those guys can convince you that the sky is red, and the grass is purple...

Based on what? Edwards is a slick lawyer. This will be a repeat of last thurs. Edwards will win on style and Cheney will win on substance. Just like the first Bush / Kerry debate. For some stupid reason, the final winner seems to be the one who wins on style and is "perceived" to have won. The media has already made up its mind. Kerry wins 3-0 and Edwards 1-0. Done deal from a media / public perception standpoint. I wouldn't be banking on any wins from the debates. Bush is a slug when it comes to debating.

2004-Cheney to Edwards: "I've been in an ambulance, I know what it's like to be chased"

Cheney will pummel edwards...Cheney is an excellent speaker and will likely be pretty relentless when it comes to the issues on Tuesday, and these 2 guys will go at it without the same restrictions as Bush & Kerry.

If there's anyone who can bring down Edwards, it's Cheney. Cheney has a very articulate way of dropping lines that insight liberals to a frenzy. Should be interesting.

Actually they can only convince the idiots that aren't smart enough to get out of jury duty of those things. :sarcasm

Both appear to be pretty intelligent. However, Cheney's length of political experience, and the knowledge it has given him, will result in an ass-whupping of Edwards.

That's my prediction, at least.

I think we would all be smart to expect that Chaney will lose this debate in disasterous fashion. Expect Edwards to look young and vibrant and win on both style and substance. Just believe it! That is what will happen.

Now, if you do this, you won't so easily jump ship when the MSM says Chaney lost. You may actually end up disagreeing with the MSM spin.
