Reply #24: I do feel Edwards won [View All]

However, I was disappointed that he didn't use some of the opportunities he had. For instance, when asked about his lack of experience, the only proper answer was that George W. Bush had no more political experience when he became President of the United States. He was, I believe, a one term governor of Texas, which is actually less foreign policy experience than a Senator would have. I was disappointed that he didn't point that out. Edwards did bring it up in the primaries and it was very effective then.

He also should have pointed out that he and Cheney had met before, perhaps with a remark like, "perhaps your memory is going" or something.

For the most part, I think he came out ahead. It was not a knockout but as another thread mentions, with Cheney's vaunted experience, tying to a supposedly inexperienced Senator is not a real big accomplishment, which only makes Edwards look better and Cheney worse.
