Poll question: Edwards should mention Cheney's "go fuck yourself" at the debate
No chance in hell the moderator would bring it up, so...

1. We have _so_many_ real issues on our side
that it would diminish their impact to have to drag out a stupid comment like this.

3. you're right - it would come across as being petty
when there are far more worthy issues to impale crashcart upon.

2. I'd say something to the effect...
"Now remember Dick, this is live TV... no five second delay, think of the children"... Okay, I'm dreaming, but it'd make me ROFLMAO

4. Better yet, he should force Uncle Dick to say it!
I'll bet if he was pursuing the same topic as Pat Leahy was at the time (i.e. Halliburton) the same results might happen.

5. rather than mention that specifically, he should
try and piss of Unka Dick and get him to do it again. :+

6. Yes, but...
Edwards should be indirect. Let the media explain the reference. A bar of soap might get them talking.

It's fair game because Cheney refused to apologize. I don't see the downside for Dems.

7. Better to stick to the issues
That is one thing Kerry did exceptionally well during the last debate. If you sink to addressing essentially meaningless issues like Cheney's boneheaded offhand comment, it reduces the effectiveness of the rest of your message. People would just say that Edwards is attacking Cheney.

8. Flip dick the peace sign,then say halliburton about ten times.
Unfortunately Dick has that chip in his brain that allows him steal,lie and cheat whilst looking,unlike * cool,calm and collected.Casuistries are a way of life for corporate a leach like Dick SHAME MEE,Ask him where his allegiance is AMERICA or the 800 or so i keep hearing so much about,and do all or half of them live in AMERICA.
Ask about saying "go fuck yourself" to his country.

11. If the subject of suitability to be President comes up (which it will),
I think it's a valid issue. I'd like Edwards to make a clear statement that "Cheney doesn't have the temperament or diplomacy required of a President as evidenced by his apparent need to revert to vulgarities when addressing those with differing viewpoints."

12. I would rather hear 'halliburton' time after time after time to provoke...

another "Fuck yourself" from this sneering, snarling orc.

13. There's no need. If Edwards pisses Cheney off he'll say it again.
