Cheney::OLD and in the WAY, ...Edwards:: Young and Cutting EDGE
This ole guy is over the Hill, no new ideas, old ways, old solutions, old styles, SAME old shit, committed to his friends.

John Edwards<<<< Fresh>>>>> Young, energetic, smart, committed to doing the Right thing.

Its a no brainer.......

2. Best comparison I can give
Would be (Lionel Barrymore) Cheney and (Jimmy Stewart) Edwards from
"Its a wonderful life"





We all know how George Bailey triumphed over Mr Potter in that one.

3. Edwards = nice young guy; Cheney = mean old guy...
It's superficial, but it worked well for Clinton vs. Bob Dole in 1996.

4. Cheney is OUT OF TOUCH with what is best for AMERICA and
her People. Cheney is tied up with Haliburton et al. Cheney is almost in conflict of interest...that gatta mean something. He is sneaky and old, mean and Mold, and not for what is in the National Good.

Edwards is, thats the diff.

7. Cheney is only 12 years older than Edwards!
Cheney was born in 1941 and Edwards was born in 1953. He really isn't that much older, he just looks older than his age. Probably from his poor health (heart condition).

8. Nope---Edwards must relate to ALL age groups. He certainly
doesn't want to turn off the elderly. No one is going to win who turns off any part of this population. The trick is to speak to all the people and their real needs while Cheney keeps preaching "doom and gloom and hopelessness" to all. Turn the attention of the every day needs of people instead of giving up everything one has because the "boggieman cometh" crap.

9. The way you wrote the subject sent my mind off like this.....
//A little software humor to show the differences
//No code reviews please *grin.

class Cheney extends Bush {

private static void old_school();

private static void neocon();

}


class Edwards implements Dignity {

public Ideas new_ideas();

public Compassion help_others();

}



//Enjoy, MZr7

10. Tonight voters will be able to closely contrast the two.

They will like what they see in Edwards. In Cheney's case, what's to like? :shrug:
