Sen Silky Gone...........is done !

[bannie]

I loved Cheney's sincere laughter about "where to begin."

:)

[tuckrdout]

Katie Couric will be wearing black tomorrow!

[prairiebreeze]

Cheney brings up Zell Miller's support and that of other Democrats.

Edwards just says Bush is a divider (LIAR, THE RATS HAVE BENT OVER BACKWARDS SINCE 2000 TO DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY!)

Prairie

[CASchack]

Can the American People look at the Breck boy and envision him as (a potential) President?

What a lightweight...

[DoughtyOne]

That's true. I agree with your assessment.

[LeftyCrusher]

There hasnt been a beatdown in a debate like this since Reagan-Mondale......nah, not even that one, this has been a consistent 90 minute ass-whoopin..

If any poll shows Edwards winning this, its either rigged, or on looks, because this was NOT EVEN CLOSE

[TeleStraightShooter]

Which side is the John's on?

One might ask who was Cheney talking about when he was refering to Iraqi's shouldering 50% of the casulties:

Cheney was referring to the Iraqi National Guard units under centcom's command.

They in large part are the ones doing the door-to-door fighting in the Sunni Triangle.

Iraqi's fighting for Saddam's Baathist regime, and Iraqi's fighting for al-Qaeda do not count.

- But isn't it odd that the John's share some common talking points with Al-Qeada and they think Iraqi's fighting for CentCom do not count?

[rintense]

I disagree. She let Edwards wander all over the map and not answer the questions directly.

Gwen allowed Edwards to control the entire debate. Cheney, OTOH, responded to every questions asked without recreating the question to be something he likes.

[God luvs America]

The Vice-President goes last in closing statements....HIT VERY/LEFTWARDS HARD!!! HARD!!! HARD!!!

[mabelkitty]

Very well know.
Schools were taken over by the state because they were run into the ground. The mayor now has control with no school board.
They had layoffs, but not 800.
This probably caught more attention in Cleveland than anything else. This is a lie.

[Semper Paratus]

Oh cripes his father in the mill pap.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Washed my hair, did some ironing, got my tea, wrote a frivolous post...did I miss anything?

With the mute button on, Johnny's shiney forehead and shifty eyes...are...rather...mesmerizing...

Look away! Look away!

[Petronski]

I don't know much about her mind (except she's a lefty) but I think she's a beautiful woman.

[muleskinner]

I'd look for DU to start blaming Gwynn for Edwards poor performance. If they were honest with themselves they would admit it was poor.

With Cheny's comment, "This is the first time I've met you" - Silky Pont knew Cheny was having his way with him.

.......What about big colored fonts?.....

1) They aren't hyperlinked to some other website and server that necessitates transfer of info.

2) They don't entail transfering large blocks of info.

Learn it. Live it. love it.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Typical lawyer tactic. They're all sleazebuckets!

[Lil'freeper]

Breck is telling a real tear-jerker of a story.

*sniff* "I'm so proud of my dad."

[CarolTX]

And somebody needs to check that "50% African-American and 50% Hispanic" High School drop out rate Edwards quoted.
