Who would you all vote for VP??

[Toespi]

Edwards wants to out source pharmeceuticals to Canada.

[Tribune7]

One really good thing about this night is Breck girl's political career is pretty much on the skids.

[Bahbah]

I'm glad you're here for the closing remarks. It pretty much sums up the difference between the "we'll get stuff for you" guys and the "we'll go beat the hell out of the bad guys to you can go on with your lives" guys.

[azsportsterman]

I don't believe it! Just as Cheney began his closing statement, Cox decided it was time to conduct a 'test of the emergency broadcast system'!

[Soul Seeker]

Oh no he isn't!!! It's the "Channeling dead spirits" voice again!

That light is flickering. ROFL!!!


Cheney: Worked for four presidents, watched two up close...9-11 affect all...terrorist threat...special responisbility on us to decide a C-I-C...only viable option to pursue and hold account terrorists and thos that support..stand up demicratic governments to ensure it never happens again...depends on us and strong leadership of Prez.

Wow!! I love Cheney's closing!! He told us this is an important election, the future is up to us, choose wisely.

Give Gwen props. She did good.

[Nowhere Man]

gasp! cheney just mentioned the reason for political rancor is because Dems lost their majority. LOL!

That's a slam dunk and he is right on the money. Looks like Pretty Boy got his butt whooped.

[DeepInEnemyTerritory]

I have dial-up and FR is S L O W. That said, THANK YOU for posting that picture. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
What a great night! :)

Moderator fair... Edwards with a lame closing statement.

Cheney "privilege to serve with the president and regain the economy... and give access to health, education, SSec... this is a great president ... with 9-11 affecting everything.

A conflict unlike any we've ever known... and with the threat that the president will have to deal with another terrorist attack.. ew've captured/killed thousands of alqueda... and we must datnd with democratic countries to defeat the terrorists.

Whhooo hooooo..!!!

[Max7]

Terrific closing statement by Cheney. Got all the points in inside the time limit. Hoo Haa!

[6ppc]

Big Time delivered the 2 By 4 to the forehead so often early in the debate that it was over early.

Yup...the last 1/3 has been kind of like a coach putting in the third string out of mercy for the thoroughly beaten opponent.

[txradioguy]

LOL! Yuppers....Cheney just laid the SMACKDOWN on poor little Pony Boy....it was a blinding barrage of The People's Elbow for 90 minutes tonite. I LOVE IT!

[rave123]

Actually Gwen and Condoleezza Rice are extremely close friends. She is not a monkey as you believe and she is very much trying to be fair and balanced. As a matter of fact, wouldn't you want her to appear to be just as hard on cheney as edwards so the dems will not say because she's Condi's friend she was easy on cheney?

Get over yourself.

[ehard]

Edwards thinking about voting for Cheney!

[Pancho Righty]

Oh, great... Gwen had to remind us... 'Ol Chuckie Gibson is moderating the Friday debate!

[NYC Republican]

That close was awful, no Thank you, no God Bless, no thanks to Edwards or Ohio? No standing up to shake Edwards' hand? Mistakes.

[ErnBatavia]

The young kid Edwards learned a valuable lesson tonight...for what it'll be worth to him in the future:

Don't even TRY against Dick Cheney.

Let the "spin games" begin.

[sinkspur]

Your comments have not been helpful. No wonder you take umbrage at Cheney not thanking Edwards.

He's not worth it.

[HighFlyer]

Nice quote about Iraq and Guadalcanal -- very true.

[JOE6PAK]

ONWARD DAMIEN!
