Edwards is sitting there pursing his lips and licking his lips and looking down and just looking totally uncomfortable. Cheney, meanwhile, sits and watches him like a hawk about to pounce on a silly field mouse.

[don-o]

I'm getting timed out a lot when refreshing. Do we need MORE than eight servers?

Cheney is spanking Johnny Boy

[Taffini]

breck is useing the squint technique to control the blinking

jay leno should do something with this like maybe breck's eye lashes could be used to put out birthday candles

[kidd]

I'm just joining in.

I like the moderator's questions.

Has she been this good all along?

[MamaB]

It sure is slow here in AL.

[codyjacksmom]

Here goes the "PLAN" stuff again. They must be witches to be able to get all that stuff done that fast! Wouldn't it be great to see Cheney reach over and bitch slap johnboy. heheheee

[Kristarrah]

I must say that this moderator is doing a much better job than Jim Lehrer did.

I am so glad that she mentioned the fact that, while Kerry promises to bring allies together to aid us in Iraq, both France and Germany have stated that they wouldn't assist us even if Kerry were president. When asked about that, all Edwards could do was tiptoe through the tulips. He simply could not deliver a rational response to that question.

Dick Cheney is doing splendidly.

Now, I'm just holding my breath, hoping that someone will bring up the fact that France, Germany, Russia, and China have all been in cahoots with the United Nations for kickbacks and billions of dollars in "secret" contracts, not to mention the supply of French missiles and other ammunition in violation of U.N. resolutions.

[Soul Seeker]

Gwen is doing a good job. Maybe she actually cares about her reputation as a journalist, unlike lehrer.

Did Edwards actaully suggest we take Iraqi's out of Iraq to train them? How in the hell are they going to be able to earn the respect of their people if they run from the terrorists in their country!

Cheney defending our allies!!!

[weegee]

If we are going to talk wars, let's talk the US funding of Bosnia.

What was the threat? Why did we reclassify groups of terrorists like the KLA?

[Delphinium]

Cheney is doing so great!

[pollywog]

I like some of the questions that are being asked so far.....Cheney is WINNING THIS ONE!!!!!

[Amore]

I can't believe this weenie is a successful trial lawyer. Hard to believe, but apparently jurors are even STUPIDER than I thought.

[BurbankKarl]

Cheney has kicked his ass!

[starvingstudent]

If anyone reads this, check HUGHHEWITT.COM for a Q&A breakdown. It's good.

[God luvs America]

please, please mention kerri voted down the Gulf War in '91! pleeze!

[slapshot]

To quote the thing from the Fantastic Four:
"It's Clobbering time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B slap that whiny shyster Mr. VP

[Aaron0617]

WHO else is going to send troops ???????? france and germany ALREADY SAID NO YOU MORON

Also tell this moron we're already training Iraqi troops out of the country. They're also in Jordan. (Breck Girl just implied we weren't)

Iraqi doctors are touring the USA etc....what an idiot.

[cyncooper]

I think it fair to say Cheney is kicking you-know-what and taking names.

[alancarp]

Any odds on whether the end-of-debate handshake occurs?

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Is Edwards aware that the the first Gulf War lasted a week? The cost comparison is irrelevant.
