Vice Presidential Debate

[Headache in a Suitcase]

add cheney's tax cut quote of "senators kerry and edwards weren't even there to vote for it" to the zing category

 

[DaveC]

Well, there goes the gay vote for Kerry.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

wow... give a zinger to the moderator.

john edwards seems very uncomfortable talking about gays.

 

[Screaming Flower]

i really like edwards, but he is getting eaten alive.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'd have to agree SF... he certainly is a dream boat though, ain't he?

 

[Screaming Flower]

lmao.

 

[EdgeVox]

Nonsense, I think it's another case of lowered expectations for Darth Cheney whooping some ass....well I think Edwards is doing more than just getting by.........he's actually going on the offensive......excellent debate so far

(Did have to watch Edwards talk about gay marriage standing up from nerves from him screwing up)

i must say i prefer this sit down, laid back, comfortable style of debate much more than the podium or town hall versions. it's more of a discussion of the issues rather than a high school style debate.

 

[Screaming Flower]

i'm no fan of cheney by any means but he is pretty unflappable. he's making edwards look like an amateur.

i agree completely. it doesn't seem nearly as staged. and it's a lot more interesting to watch.

 

[EdgeVox]

agreed

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

whoever this woman is is doing a much better job as mod than jim lehrer did.

 

[Screaming Flower]

i'm so glad they brought up AIDS in africa.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's good to see that both john kerry and john edwards both graduated with honors from the bill clinton school of hand gestures...

oh, and minor zing to cheney again on the "bush didn't pick me to try to carry my state" line

 

[DaveC]

It wasn't AIDS in Africa though. It was AIDS in the USA was the question.

Not that that's not important in and of itself. `s

 

[Screaming Flower]

i guess i heard the word "africa."

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

dick and john brought up africa, the question was actually what to do with the escalating rate of aids death in black american women. neither candidate answered the question, chosing to discuss africa instead.

cheney needs to stop putting his hands under his chin and blocking his microphone

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

kerry...err... edwards is looking very quayle like here on this last question...

 

[DaveC]

Edwards broke the rules.

Cheney is coming up hard on Edwards.

 

[Screaming Flower]

cheney needs to stop putting his hands under his chin and blocking his microphone

it's driving me nuts.

 

[DaveC]

Yeah I noticed that too. That must be driving the sound guys apeshit.

 

[DaveC]

Oh shit. Edwards just totally looked completely confused and flustered there.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one because the mod was wrong but it still didn't look too good.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i must say, now that the debat is wrapping up... cheney clearly won this debate, and if bush can perofrm as well in the next two presidential debates, this election won't be close.


on that note... i'm off to the bar to watch the end of the yankee game.

 

[popacrobat]

enjoy watching the yankees lose

 

[DaveC]

I don't think that Cheney wiped this debate, but I know that Edwards certainly didn't win.

 

[STING2]

VICTORY FOR CHENEY

 

[DaveC]

Not by a whole lot though.

 

[Screaming Flower]

he wiped the floor with edwards. i'm kind of bummed out. i wanted edwards to make it a closer match.
