Did Cheney do better than JE?

[cheshire]

I think he did great brought up all the point 90 min. would allow. His goofs made him look real and lovable.

1. kick

2. Cheney is out of energy. It's passed his bedtime.

3. Do you mean Edwards was real?

Or Cheney?

Personally, on a substantive level, I think it's pretty close.

On style I think Edwards won.

Funny that the Republican sounds like the policy wonk.

4. Cheney lied well and Edwards told the truth well.

And Gwen lost it.

5. Edwards did GREAT against the lying sack of shit

[LTR]

6. I consider it a draw

Both came out and did what they had to do. Cheney is good at this thing, because he has the ultimate poker face, and gets down to business.

Not that his business is good though. But I expected Cheney to bring his A game, and he did. Neither outshined the other, IMO. They were both adequate.

10. I am watching with a Republican friend, who just said it was a draw....

but who last week said Kerry's first debate was a SLAM DUNK. This registered Republican says he will not vote for Bush this time around.

7. "It's hard to know where to start"

Cheney is pulling out stock phrases

[Texas_Dem]

8. Cheney can tell some real good lies.

[MO_Dem]

9. Cheney was pretty lame

seemed nervous all the time, to me. I thought JE did very well.

[K-W]

11. SAY IT LOUD EDWARDS WON

Lying is not a valid debate method.

12. Cheney came off so badly.. so angry. n/t

[NEDem]

13. I don't think either hit the home run like Thursday

We'll have to wait and see what the public thinks. But I don't think any damage was done.

But I am now convinced that C* is a complete and total asshole.

14. Edwards Barely won

I'd say he won enough because he did force Chaney to avoid questions where he didn't want to, but he was in a situation he was comfortable with.

On the issues, Edwards Trumped Chaney completely.

On the presentation they both were very good, Edwards looked like he was able to handle both sitting and standing equally well though hew would have preferred to stand.

Chaney's facial features on C-Span 2 when Edwards was talking looked as though he was sucking on a sour lemon going through a number of grim faces, yet that is the kind of face he gives toward people from what I've ever seen, the permasneer.

15. Yes, I think Cheney did better.

At sucking.
