Mistake in not thanking Edwards and Ohio... Otherwise, I'd rate his performance an A, not quite an A+, but an A. Good job, Mr. Vice President.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Only a matter of time until that sniveling little turd hauled out the "My daddy worked in a meeeeeeeeeeeel!" line...

[Exit148]

Kind of a weak last word from Edwards. Nothing memorable -- just words.

I'm prejudiced, but Cheney is direct and speaking from the heart -- not a pile of whiney empty words. Go Cheney Go!!

I'm dead tired from 13 hours of work today, but I just wanted to type this before I went to bed a happy man:

As I type this, the debate isn't "over", but by God, it's OVER. LOL

2 min each now, ok.

It's been over about 20 min ago as far as I can tell though. LOL John Edwards "broke the rules" not once, but TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BY HIS OWN ADMISSION!!!!!!! LOL Talk about the Sound Bite KID! He was a MOP, and Dick Cheney was the janitor, TAKIN OUT THE TRASH!!!!!!!

Far exceeded even my expectations. It's a whole new ballgame now folks!

You might be surprised to see what ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the Washington Post, NY Times, Boston Globe, et al can do with this. They will echo the DNC talking points, i.e. Edwards won hands down.

The MSM is a transcript service for the DNC.

Edwards: But, but but "WE HAVE A PLAN!"

the only way that 'plan' will ever be known, is if too many ding-dongs elect them, and by them it will be too late...

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

That was REALLY bad. Who does he think we are?

I have a friend who looks exactly like Edwards. The ironic thing is that he is a hardcore Republican.

[txradioguy]

funny....I don't remember my combat pay getting cut last year!

Maybe I need to go back and look at my LES again! /sarcasm

[MeekOneGOP]

Cheney did GOOD !!!

Here is the FULL version of that.

[SupplySider]

Have we EVER had such a good, intelligent, steady, qualified man for VP as Dick Cheney?

He would have been a great choice for President, but, like Phil Gramm, he didn't have the cosmetic appeal to suburban white female voters. Intelligent FReeper ladies excluded, of course.

[rintense]

Maybe the reason the bright light of Edwards' is flickering is because his liberal buddies refuse to vote on an energy bill.

[NRA1995]

his dad was learning math on TV??????? i think not

[Peach]

I had to leave during Edwards closing statement; did he even mention terrorists?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

What makes you think the pictures are the cause of the slowness????

[P.O.E.]

I shoulda been drinking everytime Edwards said "We have a pla-yun"

Bottom of the seventh.

Sierra almost hit a homer - barely foul.

Cairo doubles with 2 outs.

Jeter up

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.

Edwards closing statement barely mentioned national security. He sounded like a very used car salesman.

Cheny was great and was sober about the issues.
