This one was like swatting flies. Edwards wants to run for president in 2008. He just doesn't cut it. He lines up on the Dan Quayle side of the line. (No offence to Mr. Quayle).

[Amore]

Gosh, Cheney's good!
JE is a total, baby-faced wussee.

[NonValueAdded]

Edwards would kill terrorists where they are???

<Sam Kinison voice>THEY'RE IN IRAQ, YOU NITWIT</Sam Kinison voice>

[Dolphy]

Cheney missed a chance to talk about faith based initiatives and the other family support issues that Bush has backed when he was asked about AIDS. But Edwards just completely fumbled the ball and this hurt him far more with what has been described as luke warm support among blacks.

I know the pundits always say Vice Presidential debates don't matter, but I can't see how Breck Girl is doing anything but damaging his ticket big time!

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Long resume doesn't equal...

Second time he used that ... at least if your resume is short, it could have SOME impressive bits on it.

[spectre]

Exactly. Cheney was indeed being sarcastic when he responded to Edwards.. "thank you for your KIND remarks about my family and my daughter"..para..

It was beautiful.

Silky: we're gonna kill terrorists, we gonna stop nuclear arms, we're gonna build up the troops even though we think we shouldn't even be in Iraq, we gonna spend a Katrillion more on the war on terror....

[Jet Jaguar]

Is (Lizard tongue) inappropriate? He is freaking me out.

[katdawg]

Edwards keeps saying resumes don't equal good judgement! Well, hate to break it to ya Edwards, but neither do bad ones!

[Taffini]

i wonder how dick got through this debate without laughing at the lizard tongue

[DoughtyOne]

No, I think you've confused his electablility with his hair wax. LOL

[jbarkley]

Wow, Edwards cannot sell himself very well.

[RightWhale]

VP could have 30 seconds to take over Pres slot and has to be ready. Cheney is ready, Edwards never will be.

[TNdandelion]

Can you imagine JE at a summit with the likes of Putin? JE isn't tough enough to be one heartbeat away.

[Little Johnny Galt]

"John Kerry and I will tell the American people the truth."

Yes, they will. Of course, to Kerry/Edwards, "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," are three entirely different things.

[AF68]

VIETNAM...DRINK!!!

[cajungirl]

Edwards is demolished. Cheney says one word for every 20 words that Edwards blabs. Edwards looks like ka fast talking con artist.

[glock rocks]

IT IS A MYTH that PICTURES are what is slowing down the system!!!

That statement is ridiculous!

The servers are getting hammered. I reduced page size to 50 and cleared the cache... it helped.
