Did Edwards explain the Global test question?

1. yes

I suppose it's in the transcripts. But I thought it was convincing at the time.

[flowomo]

2. Nope, not nearly as well (or as easily) as he could have....

it's the one word slip that Kerry made that has come back to hurt.... wrong choice of words.... Edwards just mucked it up more

[AP]

3. Yes. He said that the Republicans convieniently ignore that Kerry said in

the debate that nobody should have veto power over the US acting to defend itself.

They'd rather spin an unclear statement than address a very clear statement which contradicts their spin -- a statement which Kerry made moments before the "global test" remark.

4. I thought he hammered the point home very well.

Kerry will have to do the same thing Friday and then it will be a dead issue.

[Paulie]

5. Not really

When I heard Kerry say it last week, what I understood was this:

The global SMELL test. If you don't have the moral highground, and can't convince your allies of that fact, then you're screwed.

[flowomo]

6. right.... or one of several possible clarifications....

but Edwards did not nail it cleanly

[cheshire]

7. I thought both of them explained it, I am wondering if morans get it now?
