Second favorite part was when Cheney smacked him with the "well, I wasn't selected to win electoral votes, since Wyoming only has three." This is the worst whipping I've ever seen in a debate, including "you're no John Kennedy," and Reagan's immortal, "I will not make the youth and inexperience of my opponent an issue in this campaign."
Have to agree. Ifill was better than Lehrer but that's not saying much.
It just so happens that I have a report (somewhere) from the last year of Clinton, that claims there were 44 million at the time he left office. Considering that we've added at least 1 million illegal aliens in the last 4 years, I'd say the Bush record is very good.
You're right--we add new people to the list and others fall off as they get jobs with benefits. And of course no one ever has the guts to come out and say that maybe people need to be responsible for themselves...Americans drink, smoke and sleep their way into 75% of their health problems. Why should I pay for that?
Friend of your's ?
I did enjoy Gwen Ifill as a moderator. She was fair, and her questions were right on the mark.
How the hell did they set up "bots"? And why aren't we?
Brit is fine...he just expected Cheney to slaughter Edwards.
Brit Hume is the best thing for us....he is fair, which is all we need to win.
Exactly. All that's done by voting in the polls is to validate the results of the poll. Don't do it, and they'll be clearly meaningless.
No way did he win that debate.
Edwards did not have to "win" that debate. His persona just appealed more to undecided and swing voters, I fear. Perhaps Cheney's toughness will yet win out: we will know in four weeks unless there are stolen ballots.
"Is there a "who won" poll at cnn.com? "
Yes there is and it's running 75% in favor of The Breck Girl!
sickening!
I see we have cut down the thread length to 20, seems more responsive.!!!!
You go girl. I agree. If people wanna Big Mac themselves into a heart attack then why should I subsidize. It's free will and choice baby.
You're right, you're right...that's perfect. And I hated that movie. The ants gave me the heebie jeebies.
"How the hell did they set up "bots"? And why aren't we?"
because that is cheating, and cheating is not what we are about.
Kemp wants to know why Colmes and the Dems weren't whining when Bubba Clinton was giving a contract to the same Haliburton in Bosnia.
You know, I think you have a good point there. Maybe that should be our tactic regarding the internet polls. It would expose the rats.
The servers are probably working at 110% capacity. whew!!!!
between cybershenanigans and newbies ,, we're doing pretty good to stay on the air. ;-)
I agree. The Moderator did a very good job compared to Lehrer. She needs a little more practice keeping track of who is supposed to talk when. But her questions were fair.
