VP Debate Blog

Im gonna attempt to blog some of my thoughts on the VP debate:

9:28: Cheney: "If he can't stand up to the pressure that howard dean presents, how can he stand up to al qaida" Cheney is doing a marvelous job at keeping the focus on Kerry, not Bush.

"They don't have a plan, they have an echo" another great Cheney zinger. Cheney is merely repeating Bush's talking points from last week, but he is coming off as intellectual, while Edwards is repeating Kerry and sounding like a broken record.

9:32: Don't denigrate the polish pt 2: Don't denigrate Iraq either! I liek how Gwen is actually following up to get more specifics, especially on issue like "Kerry's Global test for military action.

9:35: "Immediately committed to implementing the 9/11 commission suggestions" - Cheney needs to go after Edwards for that - he's suggesting completely revamping the intelligence apparatus of America as a knee jerk reaction.

9:37: Excellent answer by Cheney on the question of sanctions. Gotta love when they drag Khadafi out.

9:39: "There are 60 countries with members of Al Qaida in them, how many are we going to invade?" Well said, lets move to domestic issues! As to Halliburton, negative points for both sides, for Cheney with the "I need more than 30 seconds" and Edwards for his smirk afterwards. I'm gonna check factcheck.com.

9:42: Personal story! Edwards is chanelling Al Gore (which isn't good btw)

9:45: Brutal attack on Edwards' Senate record! Gonna publish and do the second half in a new post.
