Things I noticed about the debate..

[AAP]

With all that heavy breathing, I thought Cheney was going to croak. He told so many lies he was out of breath.

He ignored the question on jobs.

He almost fainted on his voting record for Nelson and against Martin Luther King Day.

His skin got whiter and whiter as the debate progressed.

seriously at one point i thought he was having trouble. he coughed rather vigorously and i thought godamn it would be some shit if he had a heart attack. talk about making history. i just wonder how much sympathy votes it would have garnered?

He's just like Dubby in that he seems to have a hard time opening his pie-hole with out a lie expelling from it.That being said,he was infinitely more adept at debating than Georgie Porgie.He was cool under pressure.

What if something happens to Kerry or Bush and the VP has to take office?

Edwards just reminds me of the guy in elementary school we would punish playing dodgeball.

Yep,very well spoken.It's amazing he hasn't been more present the past 4 years,particularly when addressing the press or public.

to be honest i dont think he has the temperment which translates into the desire to speak too much publicly. i think he is a behind the scenes type guy that gets things done.

but to me this is also what makes him seem evil.

Darth Cheney!

 

[Robert Jan]

isn't he like 195 years old?

 

[Mr. dB]

Cheney oozes condescension. The body language, the way he's always peering over the tops of his glasses, he is the ubermensch and he knows it. He was quite adept at rattling off facts and figures off the top of his head, though, he's definitely sharp and on top of his game, and is a master at disguising his spin to make it appear factual. Edwards gets points just for keeping his cool and standing up to the unstoppable force, but he lacked substance.

 

[AristotleBC]

Cheney has sort of a hungry look to him when he talks, I thought he might devour Edwards.

 

[Carmen]

i never really saw much of cheney in the past four years so i got to really see him last night. he's definately a much better speaker than bush. At first i was impressed, but then by the end of the debate, decided he's a jerk.

Cheney is definitely brighter than Bush. However, one quality that a vice president needs is a strong pulse. After Cheney's 4 heart surgeries, that is one quality he cannot claim.

 

[coverguy]

Cheney did a great job of presenting some important Edwards facts!

Edwards was elected by the people to serve the people (less than 1 full term in senate,) and has missed an abnormally high percentage of votes. Such a high number that his constituents have mocked him and taken it as a slap in the face. What will he do if elected again?

On top of that, the major difference last night between the two debaters views, is that Edwards generalized (we have a plan, it will accomplish this; without truly going into it) and Cheney quantified (speaking in broad strokes to begin but pulling in cold hard data/statistics to show the depth and thought involved with the plans.)

This led to ownage by Darth Cheney!

You all do realize that Cheney is Bushes puppetmaster right? Thats why you dont see him in public with bush, he's pulling all the strings.
Seriously though, bush was alot more moderate until he got into office, its people like rummy and cheney that steered him to the far right.

Actually, the pres and vice pres don't hang out together for security reasons. It would be easier for an assisin to take them both out at the same time.
