versus

Prediction: Just when it looks like Edwards is winning, Cheney will remind him who his daddy is, cut off his hand and push him in a hole.

Starts in 15 minutes.

I'm hopping for a serious cross-examination of the corporate crook by one of the the best trial lawyers fighting for the little guy.

Can Edwards crack the Prince of Darkness?

This should be good.

I think this debate will be better than the last one, a lawyer and a business man.

It's going to be very interesting.

Debate in the way and both looks good and well, now Cheney needs to take a breath he is talking to fast.

Much better debate.

I will note Edwards pulled a Bush.

"Sadda...I mean, Osama bin Laden."

One slip in a very tense debate is allowable

Edwards is running away with it.

I think if Kerry wins, Edwards will push him over.

Yes the candidates are more calm and clear in their speech, I think they look good.

Issue been laden not found but "looking for it" NK and Iran, issues still pending. Good debate.

He did. Caught that too.

And if I'm not horribly mistaken (possible) Cheney thanked Missouri for hosting the debate. John thanked OHIO.

Afghan Opium just came up. This is for real.

I know, just sayin' that nobody's perfect.

Cheney is so much a better debater than Bush so far. He's actually giving a few facts and figured in there. The only numbers Bush was were "9" and "11"

This is definitely a better thought out and well developed debate. In all honesty they both are doing quite well, but I will reserve final judgements until the debate is over.

I agree with the King Nerd, it was nothing. Atleast he knew who he was talking to.

Bush is a businessman. As Springer told me, the first rule for a business is to hire people smarter than you.

Edwards is getting a little flustered? Got that same stuttering problem Bush had last week.

I forgot how good Cheney was at this. Smack.

"You probably weren't there to vote on that."

This is gonna get ugly. I love it

That last speech of Edwards was beautiful. I think Edwards is doing good, now Cheney is bringing the Flip-flop and that is a big mistake.

You mean he pulled a Kerry...Kerry was the one who confused Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden in the presidential debate..

"... Osama...Saddam... Osama...excuse me... Saddam Hussein....." Kerry pulled something like that... appart from his usual stutters.

WOW, "They created a haven for terrorist".

I enjoy this format much more even though it gives Cheney the advantage. Edwards prefers to walk around the stage like a lawyer would walk around a courtroom floor.

It's a very constructive debate but I think Edwards got in good and early with the information about al-qaeda and Iraq deaths. If its a bad decision, however well you spin it will never matter, most will go with how they see it. More deathes = negative public image. Simple really.

Cheney seems to have a good command of the facts? I should bloody well hope so, the man has been a senior advisor for 30 years. Oh, and even the devil can quote scripture
