10. I like Gwen..

She is my black sugar!

[Blue_Roses]

15. yep she is

...

[ncgrits]

43. WTF? Since when does the moderator get to express an opinion

about a debator's performance.

what's with the critique of JE, Gwen?

[tishaLA]

59. I must have missed that. waht'd she say?

[ncgrits]

102. she criticized JE for not staying on the topic of her "wonderful" question

which he DID answer by the way

[Rose Siding]

2. WOOO HOOOOO!!!!! Mandella, meals on wheels, and MLK in ONE ANSWER

ROFLMAO

[LynneSin]

17. I love how Cheney tried to respond to that tirade but couldn't

He sucked as a Representative

[CitySky]

20. yes, make him look like Satan

who else could vote against both Mandela & MLK????

[onager]

30. His record needled Greasy Dick...

...and Edwards speaks "slow" because he's Southern. In fact, he and I are from the same town (Seneca, SC).

Not necessarily a liability. It gives him time to think.

[kodi]

50. yes, oh so sweet. cheney was an asshole then and remains one today

yeap, leave that man on robins island,

[kohodog]

58. Racist fucking Pig n/t

[BootinUp]

3. OMG! Cheney was SPEECHLESS

His record killed him.

[leftist.]

46. That was creepy

For a second it looked like cheney had gotten in a good line, but then edwards came right back and just f'd him!

[GreenArrow]

4. Edwards kicked ass on Cheny's voting record

.

[sonicx]

5. MLK and mandela. awesome

[rocktivity]

6. Edwards is humming now!

and GWEN bought up Halliburton and Iraq--sorry I thought you were shill!

[AngryLizard]

38. I'm sorry did she just say that Edwards didn't talk about Israel??

Is she even bothering to listen??

And can I say that this debate goes down much better if you're sucking on a tall glass of margaritas??

I'm beginning to see why Edwards made a good trial lawhyer though.

But sadly, I have to say that so far this debate is a tie.

[mconvente]

64. booyah

getting in domestic - great win for dems now

edwards did pretty well in the foreign policy, so lets nail it home now!

[seeker4ever]

7. No fucking "stories"!!!!!!

Brings things to a grinding halt.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

8. Cheney won.

I turned it off after half and hour. Cheney had won in that half hour,..nothing more to say.

[BootinUp]

21. You're joking -eom

[Dudley_DUright]

32. You missed the "record exchange"

that Edwards won going away.

[RummyTheDummy]

34. Was this before or after

You took the Window Paine Acid. One hit or two?

[LynneSin]

35. I think Edwards held his own during foreign relations

Cheney has no soul

[medeak]

37. YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED TUNED

Cheny liar liar liar

[nadinbrzezinski]

48. Teeveen he is loosing

Radio it is about even....

[Massacure]

53. Half hour isn't enough. Edwards just went after Cheney on Halliburton

He also compared him to Ken Lay and ENRON. You should have seen Cheney's face. Edwards scared the shit out of him.

[txindy]

62. Don't care about domestic issues, then?

Okay, 'cause now's when it gets even better and John's been smokin'.

[DrWeird]

63. You once called Abu Ghraib a "fraternity prank."

So you've got more to say about that.

[spooky3]

66. Keep on hikin'.

[gardenista]

83. Yeah, so did Bush. nt

[dumpster_baby]

what makes you say that?

I cannot say either one has won. Cheney might be a little ahead. he has spanked JE a couple of times. But JE have a fair chance of pulling ahead.

[KittyWampus]

9. Edwards Just Handled Cheney's Appalling Record Well

[Dudley_DUright]

11. Blame the economy on 9/11

Sorry, that does not wash Cheney.

[No2W2004]

12. uh oh...guess crashcart fucked up bringing up records

dumb ass

[Kal Belgarion]

13. Cheney voted against headstart, meals on wheels, Nelson Mendella,

Cheney throws stones at school-children, drowns babies...

[Girlieman]

Nothing to say about voting against MLK day

just sat there and looked stupid

[delete_bush]

one of his more admirable traits

[Girlieman]

14. Nothing to say about voting against MLK day

just sat there and looked stupid

[2bfree]

16. Voted against meals on wheels!

What an ogre!

[K8-EEE]

18. Cheney Can't Respond To His Own Record!

Bada BING!!!

[Selwynn]

29. Edwards needs to keep hammering him on it non stop

[0007]

19. Cheney can't respond to Ewards attack on his voting record

[spooky3]

Edwards NAILED him on it.

[Nucular]

22. if more people were educated...

less people would vote republican

[daa]

109. Did you see that recent survey

the dumber you are the more likely you vote repuke?

[ThePittsburghKid]

23. Gwen sucks.

John had to correct her on WHO ANSWERED THE QUESTION!! She's short-changing Edwards on time and responses...she's awful.

[txindy]

24. LOVED John's slap about Israel

"I DID talk about Israel, HE'S the one who didn't talk about it!" ROFL!!!!

[kokomo]

99. but Edwards continues the pandering to the Zionist lobby.

Many of us on the left are concerned about the genocide of the Arab population on their OWN LAND. I know many are voting for Nader only because of the SAME IP stand of Kerry/Edwards that is no different than Bush and Cheney on Israel. The world is watching the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Cheney is coming across as a HUGE ASSHOLE!

[booksenkatz]

26. Gwen editorialized about JE's Israel answer. FUCK HER!

Can I use the c-word yet? Does DU allow the c-word?

[ncgrits]

71. I hate the C word but she really has it coming

[Peanut Gallery]

27. They're on domestic matters now

Cheney's going to get everyone a job! (cough cough)

[Thrill]

28. LOCKED Down the African American vote

With the Martin Luther King Holiday

[Fleshdancer]

31. Cheney is starting to ramble again ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[LittleClarkie]

51. Gads I can hardly keep awake when Cheney talks.

Booooring.

[txindy]

92. Yep, mostly because his mouth hardly moves.

It's like watching a painting with a voiceover. A Goosebumps painting by R.L. Stine.

[displacedtexan]

75. Go, JE! Bring it home to Cleveland!

That's how you do it!

Make it local!

[Ilsa]

33. Edwards is smiling about the debate alot more than CHeney! eom

[0007]

36. John Edwards is getting hot, while Cheney is running out of steam

45 minutes to go.

[alexisfree]

39. no bush behind!!!!

[Fatima]

40. Dickless bringing up no child left behind...

to distract from a crappy job record

I can see a great comeback...

[acmavm]

41. How in the hell did 9/11 cost us a million jobs? The Cheney bush*

corporate pandering and allowing outsourcing has cost us a million jobs, but friggin' 9/11 didn't cost a million jobs.

This guy is delusional.

And he forgot it was his turn, and just had to argue about it.

I HATE GWEN IFILLS!!!!!!!

[kokomo]

42. Edwards coming off too biased towards the Zionist lobby. NO difference

between Kerry/Edwards and Bush/Cheney. Who cares about the genocide of the Palestinian people.

[Fatima]

69. his comments about Gaza

did bother me...quite a lot...

otherwise he's doing great

[autorank]

Dickster, friend of the little guy! ROFL

[No2W2004]

44. oh he DIDN"T bring up

the no child left behind act

dumb sack of shit....go get 'em John!

[realFedUp]

45. Cheney leaving kids behind again

lies, lies and more lies....the research teams
will be working overtime at newspapers.

[realFedUp]

77. Edwards said this administration is outsourcing of jobs

Get rid of taxcuts and breaks for companies
that outsource their jobs.

[realFedUp]

85. Cheney dropping lots of numbers

Do the research.

[tjdee]

He voted against the Department of Education! What the hell is he saying?

Who gives a CRAP what Dick has to say about education, now that John Edwards has just told me that Cheney voted against the DOE!

[Nucular]

47. DISSED AGAIN

[2bfree]

49. I thought it was about jobs and poverty!

You go John!

[da_chimperor]

52. How the hell can dick talk about education!?

They've underfunded it so much it's ridiclious!

[Lerkfish]

54. OMG! moderator SHILL MUCH?

at least try to appear neutral...LOL!

[Kipepeo]

55. Cheney doesn't answer the questions

He changes the subject

[lasttrip]

dissed on Jobs & poverty-go JE

[Fleshdancer]

56. Gee, Cheney doesn't want to talk about jobs and poverty? imagine that

[countmyvote4real]

"litigation costs" - Cheney is going to attack trial lawyers. n/t

[crickets]

57. Jobs? No Child Left Behind?

There ARE no new jobs with you two in office, DICK. And education? Gah! He's oily and nasty and lying through his teeth at every turn. John calls him on skipping to education and not addressing jobs. Here come the stats! Eat your own lousy job loss record, DICK.

[Cleopatra2a]

76. Cheney is breathing very hard n/t

[AngryAmish]

60. Get off the mat and hit him John

[Duncan Grant]

61. Edwards: 4 million more Americans have fallen into poverty

[Huckebein the Raven]

65. I'm glad Edwards brought up Haliburton and Crashcart's

voting record.


Anyone got a bullshit-meter ? Cheney just blew mine up.

[autorank]

67. Working the body now. Watch for the head shots soon

[nadinbrzezinski]

86. Outsourcing WTG JE

[Lerkfish]

68. Cheney just avoids issues he doesn't want to answer....

avoids jobs, avoided talking about his record....

what a dick

[makhno]

87. Yes, I wish that dumb shill would call him on that

Who the hell on the Dem side approved this moderator?

[Peanut Gallery]

Cheney: empty promises, hot air

Edwards: facts

[Kipepeo]

70. I love that JE is hitting him on extreme job loss

Cheney/Bush is FOR outsourcing jobs

[ClintonTyree]

72. 31% unemployment...................

if they haven't doen it by now, another 4 more years ain't gonna help them. A new administration is needed, NOW!

[ellie]

"They are for

outsourcing jobs."

Good one!

[Nucular]

73. Did Reagan create jobs?

I dunno, i was in 6th grade

[Fleshdancer]

OUTSOURCING!!! OUTSOURCING OUTSOURCING OUTSOURCING!!!

[elperromagico]

74. "Was the question about jobs?"

A little sarcasm from JE.

[Northern Experiment]

105. America can't take four more years.....

In your face Dick!

[slutticus]

78. First president to lose jobs in 70 years!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.

How will cheney spin this????

[spanone]

95. Cheney says Edwards data is old data. Horseshit.

[Julien Sorel]

79. Edwards looking more confident now.

He was getting the worst of it.

[CityHall]

80. Hope domestic part goes better

From a purely tactical view, Cheney walked away with the foreign policy part, making the points Bush didn't. But people will be left with the impressions from the domestic part, and Cheney will be stuck bluffing and waffling here in large part because he cares about military issues and hears about the facts every day. He doesn't care about jobs and so forth and had to cram for the debate.

[rocktivity]

81. Surely you didn't believe that Edwards would win in a walkover

Dick Cheney is a REAL opponent, but he hasn't laid a glove on edwards yet. Edwards is ahead on points.

[Kipepeo]

82. No Child Left behind!!!!

Bush left it UNFUNDED!!!

[da_chimperor]

84. Smackdown! That was a great! GO JE!

[da_chimperor]

94. 1.7 million!? Jobs added! Did I just hear that!? That's an outright lie!

[ThePittsburghKid]

88. Wow...

Cheney is absolutely skirting this job issue. He's got nothing.

[0007]

89. More lies and promisses coming out dickhead's moneymaker

[mconvente]

NCLB my ass

[Thrill]

90. Still Hasn't talked about JObs

[No2W2004]

[Shadow30]

Chenney looks so sour.....

[delete_bush]

91. keep hitting the outsourcing issue

hard, it's one of the "gut" issues

[Kipepeo]

93. Cheney just said they've added jobs

[nadinbrzezinski]

107. Ok now JE is taking the lead over radio

[Texas_Dem]
