We're counting on you, Mr. Vice President.

Godspeed, sir!

Haliburton never saved a child from the evils of natural childbirth

Or chased Doctors from North Carolina.

[areafiftyone]

I presume there's no set topic for tonight

Sure there is for the Democrats it's Haliburton, Haliburton Haliburton, Haliburton, Haliburton!

[GRRRRR]

Chrissy Matthews---asking why Cheney has to sit down during the debate...Tad Devine is just too slimey and angry...the most vicious liar in the Kerry Kamp.
Ben Ginsberg, GOP Election Attorney is sticking up for our side...

Devine says the Breck Gurl will hold Bush-Cheney accountable for all the lost jobs in Ohio. Chrissy asks, are they guilty of political malpractice?

MSNBC and Hissy Chrissy are paid shills for the DNC, it's simply amazing they can get away with it...sickening...

[small voice in the wilderness]

Wow Jorge! You sound upbeat tonight!

[soozla]

I was surprised to hear Rush today, correcting the information previously dispensed by John Effin' Edwards regarding his "po-boy" background................

Daddy Edwards, the common-guy millworker was actually a MIL-OWNER AND CONSULTANT........OOOOOOOOOOOPS!!! Hope this gets out tonight so this little bit of misinformation can be clarified!!

THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN EDWARDS' "HUMBLE" ORIGINS

[moonman]

Cheney is taking Edwards to the woodshed!

[cyncooper]

Gosh, I thought my "LOL" indicated I thought the idea that Cheney could be intimadted by such a stunt was ludicrous.

Well, if I must spell it out, I said back on another thread this would inspire Cheney, not intimidate.

LOL

[mware]

LOL, love it.

On Larry King Live transcript

John Edwards, the man that could be a heartbeat away from our leader is a coward. On September 11, 2001 he fled the Capitol to his home...

'...I went on in to the -- to my Senate office building. Then we saw the second plane hit, and, of course, the strike on the Pentagon. I left the Capitol, because I was worried about my family. I left the Capitol, went home. I was there for a period of time.

And, actually, after I was there for a fairly short period of time, the Capitol Police came to my home, knocked on the door, and said that they were gathering up senators to take us to a -- to a safe or secure location. And I said, "Well, what about my wife and my kids?" And they said, "Well, they'll stay here."

Hello,

Tonight is my son's first ever Cub Scout Meeting (I am Co-Leader), so I will be late to the debate party. I am sure that I will never catch up when I get home, but will join in as soon as I can. Have Fun!!

Glad to be here (or I will be later!), MOgirl

[COEXERJ145]

Mark my words, all the instapolls and the so called undecided focus groups will say Edwards won.

The media was already setting us up for this earlier today by showing polls that said most people expect Edwards to win the debate.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Cheney is excellent in this sort of forum.

Do you know if they will be behind podiums or at a round table?

[FourPeas]

Who could possibly be nervous over Cheney. He's owns reassurance.

For some reason, the word 'gravitas' comes to mind.

[Warren_Piece]

I remember worrying about the VP debate in 2000. I thought Cheney would come across as dour, aor worse still, boring. It turned out to be the BEST and most informative debate of 2000 (And Cheney was VERY likable in that debate)

No worries.

John Kerry is out jogging one morning and notices Little Hannah on the
corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to Little Hannah and says,
"What's in the box, kid?"

Little Hannah says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens."

John Kerry laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?"

"Democats," says Little Hannah.

"Oh that's cute," he says and goes on his way.

A few days later, Mr. Kerry is running with his buddy John Edwards and he
spies Little Hannah with her box just ahead. Kerry says to Edwards, "You
gotta check this out," and they both jog over to Little Hannah.

John Kerry says,! "Look in the box, John, isn't that cute? Look at those
little kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend John what kind of kittens they
are."

Little Hannah replies, "They're "Republicats".

"Whoa!" John Kerry says, "I came by here the other day and you said they
were "Democats". What's up?"

"Well," Little Hannah explains, "their eyes are open now."

[The Real Indepman]

I can't wait to see Cheney biatch-slap the Breck girl the first time she utters Halliburton!

[Bringbackthedraft]

"I think Cheney will hand Edwards his head in this debate but I do worry about how the media will play it."

Simple, the MSM will say that Cheney has been the brains behind GWB all along.
