Edwards is to Cheney as Bush is to Kerry: There is a HUGE Gap

[Raya]

in experience and gravitas.

Let's not be too disappointed it Cheney mauls Edwards.

Logic is that Cheney could make Kerry look really shallow for
choosing Edwards as V.P. mainly for his popularity and personal
charm.

Let's hope something funny happens on the way to forum so that
Edwards can somehow break away from his "nice guy" style and
take the knife to Bush/Cheney. Using the terrible truths of
Bush disasters is the only way for Edwards to make-up for the
"pretty boy" attack.

1. The real trick will be slaying the Prince of Darkness -

While looking like prince charming.

[Misunderestimator]

2. Yes, Cheney is much more experienced in cheating than Edwards...

I think you've got something there :eyes:

Bottom line... the VP debate doesn't hold much weight. All Edwards has to do is keep his cool and charm the American public. We're talking Americans, remember? It's not like they voted Bush in because of his vast experience.

3. Exceptin', Edwards isn't an asshat.

He will not go "ummm....it's.....hard work.....and it was hard work loving her as best I can."

Also--what good did Cheney's experience do us?

Edwards can go toe to toe with Cheney on any issue at any time.
I heard today somewhere that he is the highest rated of all four on both tickets in terms of likeability, and that's all he has to do tonight. Come off as knowledgeable and likeable.

4. However, if JE can make Cheney lose it,

it will mean something. Come on, Dick, just one "Go fuck yourself," that's all I ask!

[Lindacooks]

5. Don't agree at all

Being a trial lawyer is 'trial by fire'. Cheney is a vampire next to Senator Edwards - and remember that appearances and reaction shots matter most to the American public (and the media).

6. Why do people spread this crap?

Cheney is like Bush. He has appeared ONLY in settings friendly to him. Yes he is calm, cool and collected but he's obviously blown it enough to call a reporter an asshole over a live mike and tell a senator to fuck off on the senate floor...name an occasion where Edwards has done the same?

The press has already lowered the expectations of Cheney...Edwards will do fine...let's just look at their lives...Edwards won his millions the hard way..proving his case..Cheney simply put his hand in the cookie jar.

7. The way I see it ...

Cheney = Darth Vader
Edwards = Luke Skywalker



We all know how that battle turned out! :evilgrin:

8. what a shitty ass fucking thread that any right winger would love

what is the fucking purpose of people wanting to go out spread this shit ? the primary is over, we have our candidates. even if you had these feelings, what is the fucking purpose of spreading it out like this so close to the elections ?

10. Don't you think RW a*holes already have their opinions. Realism, Realism,

not a fantasy world of spin. That's our new meme, right.

[jmowreader]

9. This is what a defendant in a case Edwards is trying sees

This is a tiger. It is a beautiful yet ferocious predator with absolutely no fear of man.

About twenty minutes after this debate starts, people will know why Kerry chose Edwards, and it's not for his popularity and personal charm. This guy can be vicious if he needs to.

11. Lots of folk are crossing their fingers hoping you are right.

12. I heard John Edwards brother-in-law on aar today

And he said John enjoys nothing better than taking corporate , fat cats down .

I think we are all going to be very pleasantly surprised .:bounce:

13. Cheney's experience lin corproate corruption, lying, warmongering?

nt

[NNadir]

14. Cheney's "experience" is in generating failure. He has NO gravitas.

He's a bald faced liar.

Edwards will demolish him.

[marlakay]

15. They keep saying Edwards should attack bush not Halliburton

That Cheney is hoping he spends the time talking about halliburton and not their failed record. Cheney is not Bush, he can hide his emotions and look calm while leading you to the slaughter. But we know that Edwards has years of going against top lawyers so its like waiting for a major boxing fight. I hate Cheney because he is so slimy, it makes me nervous.

16. Mathews, sadly, is falling in with the Cheney is God line.
