Edwards didn't do as good as Kerry did last Thursday BUT

[rumguy]

he's doing a hell of a lot better than Bush. That's the salient point.

[Memekiller]

1. No way he could have killed Cheney as decisively...

...as Kerry beat Bush. There hasn't been that many routes in history. But Edwards did the job by challenging Cheney's uncomfrortable relationship with reality.

[IconoclastIlene]

2. This is the President; George is the Poster boy.

and thats unfair anyway.

[JoFerret]

3. he did...however Crabby Cheney did better than Blinky Bush

.

[rumguy]

6. Exactly - Bush was a weak opponent

Cheney may be an evil liar - but he's smart.

[Cha]

18. All cheney did was show up

bush...and who's really ruining the country.

[Lugnut]

19. Precisely my thoughts

By comparison it should be fairly clear to those who have a functioning brain who is actually running the show. It is not the guy who was up against John Kerry last Thursday.

[BuelahWitch]

4. He's alot better than Lieberman from 2000 n/t

[MO_Dem]

8. YES!

A billion times better!

[liberalmuse]

5. I think Edwards did fine.

Cheney may try to sound like he knows what he's talking about, but whatever is dropping from his mouth has no connection to reality. But as long as he's been in politics, he damn well should be polished.

What Edwards didn't launch as salvos he launched as charm.

7. Edwards is on on health care...

Cheney sucks!

[AngryLizard]

9. Yeah, Edwards didn't have to debate

against a stone cold moron.

Cheney can actually walk and chew gum at the same time without tripping or choking.

I never said Cheney was dumb. He's just impossibly evil. The temperature around him goes about 10 degrees wherever he is.

Edwards is holding his own. Dumbass moderator notwithstanding.

[Misskittycat]

10. Edwards did great against a much better opponent

Edwards was wonderfully focused. When the opponent is a lying sack of shit, and you only have 90 seconds to rsepond....

I'm a lawyer - believe me, Edwards did great!

[lasttrip]

11. JE did great more than held his own. next VP!

[Cocoa]

12. I think he did a lot better

he wiped out his lightweight image.

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. I think Edwards is doing very well

but Cheney isn't W.

[diabhal]

15. The real result of tonight is...

I think that what this debate has demonstrated above all is what a total moron Shrub is. Kerry, Edwards and Cheney have shown themselves to be articulate and intelligent and the comparison with Shrub, which I'm sure a lot of people are drawing, is just painful.

[RobinA]

17. I Was Just Thinking This

The biggest point tonight was the contrast between those with three digit IQs and the guy with the two digits.

Cheney just highlighted yet again what a moron Bush is.

[napi21]

14. Edwards at least had a worthy opponent!

Do not underestimate Cheney! He's a smart guy, and very used to arguing like this. Edwards won the debate and that's a BIG WIN!

I'm not downgrading Kerry, but his opponent isn't a worthy one at all!

[spooky3]

16. Playing Tidewater Community College is not the same as playing

Florida.
