Mike Barnicle was comparing the debate to a Dad who is listening to stupid ramblings and excuses from his son, and Dad (Cheney) firmly corrects his misguided little boy over and over.

Barnicle said Cheney should have asked Edwards for the "keys to the car" at the end of the debate.

I didn't understand the snickering (Scarborough included) about Cheney saying he never said there was a connection between 9/11 and Iraq.

Chrissie's Meet the Press clip aside (which I didn't see and nobody can document), what in the hell are they talking about? I've NEVER heard nor read of Cheney or Bush talk of a connection between 9/11 and Iraq.

More like a dad listening to his son complain about a plan to send him to a military academy in a last ditch attempt to straighten him out. Edwards has shown himself to be twice the embarassingly ineffective demagogue that Clinton's second in command was. Good riddance to him. Here's hoping NC doesn't replace him with another FOB.

I agree with this analogy.

a observation about the debate and one on PMSNBC. Edwards really showed how inexperienced he is in politics. He's trained in speaking to a jury. All that training means nothing in the world of politics.

Towards the end of Hardboiled w/Chris Matthews, they were questioning the decision to make Edwards the running mate. If a panel mostly of left leaning pundits is questioning Edwards, Kerry is in big trouble.
