17. Nah
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 12:04 AM by CrowNotAngelGRL
Edwards is a pretty good speaker and watched him on the DNC site video and some other stuff and he's pretty good and I think it'd be the same thing as tonight. Cheney is a bit better than Bush of course, so it'd still be a great debate and can't wait. Isn't that one this coming Tuesday?

6. this is meant to be ironic, right?
It's late on the east coast

I sense this is the late-night joke thread.

Edwards will chew Dick's fat butt up and spit out the slimy bones.

15. Cheney is personable, Edwards is a grumpy man
Cheney's like your happy uncle who tosses you up in the air, but Edwards is like the grandpa who drinks and smokes too much, and glares at you in an unnerving way.

1) Cheney has heart attack on live TV
2) Bows out of race
3) Rove installs either Mccain or Guiliani as VP
4) Bush* wins.

22. John Edward's problem is he is too curmudgeonly and, frankly,
mean (and does he kiss Elizabeth with that mouth?), whereas Dick Cheney is optimistic, positive, and has a history of communicating effectively. Johnny's doomed!

25. Edwards will do a damn better job than Lieberman did
who spent most of his time agreeing with Cheney. That said, the vice-presidential debate in 2000 was far more watchable than any of the presidential ones.

33. Cheney's nobility and good heart
Radiate from him with the luminescence of a thousand suns. Every part of him - the color of his white-as-the-driven-snow-hair to his piercing honest eyes, to his amiable I love everyone smile, and finally his powerfully built body, America recognizes Cheney as what Nietsche described as the ubermensch - even those who don't know what an ubermensch is somehow sense it on a primal, deeper level. That's how uber of a mensch he is.

Edwards has no chance.

Edwards is Wet Behind the Ears. It's doubtful Edwards will be able to compete. Cheney WOWS audiences everywhere he goes. Even if he didn't have the Loyalty Oaths, he would probably still get applause.

61. I don't think we need to push that meme for this debate, and I don't think
it'll work anyway. Everyone knows Edwards has awesome skills as a lawyer. The Repubs are simply going to try and use that against Edwards. But it should be funny, because they can cry about him being a trial lawer all they want and yet it'll be a struggle for them to get that point to eclipse his persuasiveness.

One word you know they'll try to use against Edwards is "slick". They did it with Clinton, and Repubs are not the most creative people in the world.

62. All we need is some nice big magnets, or a microwave oven,
at the VP debates, to make Cheney's pacemaker go wacky. He'll be bouncing off the walls like a Roomba vacuum. Meanwhile, Edwards (who didn't make all those millions in court as an attorney by sitting on his hands and being polite), will slice him and dice him.

64. Everything I was hearing was that the Republicans had pretty much...
...written Cheney off against Edwards and were concentrating on getting Bush prepped. Are you suggesting the VP debate is now in play? That certainly wouldn't bode well for them considering Edwards will at worse come out even and at best give Cheney a fourth, fifth, or sixth heart attack.
