I hope Edwards can bring up some of this during the debates.

1. Cheney's voting record in congress is a FUCKING GOLD MINE

Edwards as a trial lawyer extraordinaire, will be exquisitely prepared, which is what makes good lawyers great. I expect he will have lots of those gems, from being the only dingbat to vote against cop killer bullets, the only one to vote against censuring south africa for imprisoning mandela,....the list goes on and on and on and on. Lieberman gave him a pass in 2000. I don't expect a repeat of that pathetic performance.

I predict that Edwards will Clean Cheney's Clock!!!!!!!!!

I'm so worried that they're gonna use him being an expert trial lawyer against him that I forgot that it works FOR him! He's gonna smoke Cheney in the debate.

7. You know what would be interesting? To learn how Cheney gets

along with Condi and Colin.To my untrained eye, it looks like there is a lot of tension between Cheney and Powell.On the one hand, we have a genuine war hero, Powell, facing off against a draft dodger,putting on airs about being a tough guy.I am sure that Condi is walking on egg shells with Cheney who has nothing but contempt for her and only Condi's longterm loyalty to Bush is saving her from the wrath of Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Like Harry Belafonte said, these two have sold their souls to the devil and are paying a heavy spiritual and psychological price.

8. The Palm Tree Thing

"But it turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and in some cases, deliberately misleading."

- Colin Powell

It always bothered me that the press focused more on the palm tree than that actual quote about the intelligence he delivered. Deliberately misleading...

9. Isn't he also on record saying

how unfeasible, and therefore how foolish it would be, to try to take out a disarmed Saddam rather than contain him?

[Bluebear]

11. And if he says he has had a change of heart? FLIP-FLOP!!!!
