Dick Cheney made John Edwards look like a rich lady's purse dog.

What was the margin of error? If the margin of error overlaps the numbers then it is effectively a tie since you could interpret the results either way.

Guess what: MSM is calling the debate a "DRAW!" What B.S!

What about all the times Edwards lost his train of thought, changed the subject, repeated himself, went back to old questions, "broke the rules."

If Cheny wins, it's a draw. If it's a draw, Edwards wins. If Edwards wins, the election is over. I hate these people.

Cheney kicked his rear end all over the stage.

All over America Democrats are throwing their unwanted spouse's things out in the street after learning from Edwards that states don't recognize other states marriages.

NO COMMENTATORS HAVE MENTIONED
1. EDWARDS BRINGING UP HIS DAUGHTER
2. AND EDWARDS SAYING HE BROKE THE RULES TWICE.

My favorite quote from Jim Geraghty was:

"If I ever need to sue somebody, I’ll call John Edwards.

If I ever need somebody killed - like, you know, terrorists trying to kill me or my family - I’ll call Dick Cheney."

The VP had Edwards on the run, defensive and, at times, visibly frustrated.

The VP has consistently offered clear answers, along with examples. As Senator, the Edwards voting record is pretty bad (eg, no shows) -- Cheney shed some light on that at various times throughout the debate. Wasn't it Edwards' hometown newspaper that referred to him as "Senator
Gone"?

This was it, folks -- Cheney has brought the discussion back to where it belongs: based on facts, not fiction. Nice job, Mr. Vice President.

I think Cheney came off humble, honest, and wise. I respect him so much. Even hearing Edwards attacks on his voting record, voting against Head Start and some of the other big government programs. He truly understands what makes this country great.

Brokaw, Russert, Blitzer...all of them are defending Edwards...my gosh, there is no objectivity at all.

The MSM is our NUMBER ONE ENEMY! More than the DUmmies, more than the liberal across the street. They cost us 10-20 percent of the vote EVERY election. If it weren't for the MSM, the Dems would be the Green Party...and they know it.

System is still slow, may the WWW internet itself.

Loved it, I expect President Bush to hammer away at the same points given half a chance!

Yes. Vice President Cheney's delivery and control were very good. He handles Edwards very well.

It is still going to be closer than we think though, IMHO.

You are absolutely right. Say something often enough and most people will believe it (believe me, I know, I'm in sales). Because most people won't think for themselves, they allow the media voices to tell them what to think. Maybe we should wrap all their heads in tin foil...
