16. My parents say he blew it...
Its okay though, his position is clear and the jury pools are already poisioned. It wouldn't have done any good anyway...

4. Great.. then vote for Bush.
I happen to be more discerning, and able to round out my support for a ticket based on MANY things.. not one answer.

Anyone demonstrating any kind of objectivity is instantly labeled a traitor it seems.

17. I'm watching it on my computer
Edwards said nothing about investment losses, which is the biggest reason for premium increases.

9. WHY didn't he mention the frivololus LAWSUITS that Halliburton
filed when Cheney headed them?

taking people to SMALL CLAIMS COURT for less than a thousand bucks?

over A HUNDRED FIFTY LAWSUITS filed when he was CEO?

how come YOURS TRULY has this at fingertips and Edwards doesn't?

I'm getting disgusted, if he didn't mention the above soundbites

WTF is going ON here?????????

13. Edwards hasn't attacked Cheney with anything meaningful
Like you, I have a lot of information on the top of my head Edwards doesn't seem to have to counter Cheney's responses.

28. did he mention the halliburton lawsuits? other people said he didn't
I hope he did, and if I'm wrong in what I posted, I'll VERY gratefully take it back

I want Edwards to give this NAZI a fricking grabber from which he'll never recover....a debilitating stroke would actually be better, as his sneer seems to exhibit the symptoms of already having had one

T-I-A!

T-I-A!

24. What Edwards didn't say
He said nothing about declining lawsuit awards.

He said nothing about the number of lawsuits which never make it trial.

He said nothing about the connection between investment losses and premium increases.

29. I think it was a great answer
He didn't call out Cheney on his lies, but I think he outsmarted Cheney, throwing a bone to the "frivolous lawsuit" issue but basically leaving victims the right to sue. That should work for most of the general public, who don't want to lose the right to sue when one of THEM gets hurt.
