1. Looks matter. They shouldn't but they do.

2. Nixon learned that the hard way in 1960. nt

3. it's not looks, it's the fact that he could die at any moment

and do you really want the number two executive in america to be in that state if things got rough?

4. My favorite line from the debate...

Was in response to the "one heartbeat away" question.

It honestly seemed to me like Cheney sounded almost hopeful towards the end. I, personally, couldn't stop laughing when I heard this.

"It‘s a very significant responsibility when you consider that at a moment‘s notice you may have to take over as president of the United States and make all of those decisions. It‘s happened several times in our history."

5. This was a TELEVISION debate -- think Kennedy/Nixon --

as I posted all day yesterday. No matter the program or event, if it comes into your living room on a TV screen it's transformed. I think Edwards won for several reasons, but primarily because the battle was waged on a television screen.
