let the food fight begin

So much for the AP. The debate is still in progress and they are reporting like it's over.

This forum's crawling tonight...

Cheney made Edwards go out to the peach tree and pick out the switch Cheney's beating him with now....

[counterpunch]

Edwards' mic is a lot higher up on his tie, above his jacket. They put Cheney's mic in a place where it keeps getting muffled by his jacket.

I wish Cheney would take off the damn gloves. IMO he's performing slightly better than Dubya did the other night.

[Melinda]

Someone should tell Edwards that the formulaic "swoop" technique with the pen across the paper may distract in the courtroom, but isn't phasing Vice President Cheney in the least.

[SandRat]

And I'm listenting to VP Cheney take the Silky Pony to the Glue Factory.

[RedWing9]

Look how far down the story it took for them to qoute Cheney... Bias???

[Wonderama]

If I hear Edwards say "john Kerry and I have a plan..." one more time, I will scream!!

[SandRat]

So far this is Edwards answer to everthing.

[eagle mama]

Why are they reporting in the past tense, the blasted debate is still in process.

Edwards is a Wus Jr. He's supposed to be this brillian attorney who made bundles of money as a trial lawyer, he has no creativity whatsoever, he isn't bringing anything new to the table. He's simply repeating what Kerry said in the Presidential debate.

Cheney with his laid back demeanor is doing extremely well.

Well cut me another piece of apple pie, Dick Cheney, you took the ship to good harbor. What can one say? With all respect to the President, in this debate Dick Cheney’s wagon took over hauling the payloads of George W. Bush’s perceived shortcomings in his debate, a debate which was only five days ago but somehow now seem a century ago. Thank you, Vice President Dick Cheney, you were fabulous, and the school boy took the loss thanks to your aptitude, acumen and presentation of the issues. This was a home run for the Bush-Cheney team. There is no question about it.

[Starve The Beast]

What the heck is it with both Kerry and Edwards writing furiously while their opponents are talking?

Kerry did it, and just now Edwards did it. While listening to a rebuttal, they both picked up a pen and started writing in a really intense and focused way.

Guys, does your debate coach seriously not see how phony that looks?

Johnny boy invoking FN John and the "plans" while channeling Iggy:

"We stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of our eyes"

Best Cheney line to Johnny Boy IIRC - "I've been president of the Senate for 4 years and until you walked onto this stage I've never met you"
