3. Edwards doing a good job!
He won't let Ted twist his words! Pays to have a good attorney on your side now, doesn't it?

5. You're right, It was of course a snip from shrubs statement, but
I never see any media bitching about any other candidates doing the same thing in their statements. ShrubCo does it all the time with Kerry!

6. Bush said "I don't do nuance"
during the 2000 campaign.

13. I thought the same thing, you'd think Edwards would have brought that up
Seriously, it's like this guys are trying to lose.

7. The chimp thinks "nuance"
-pronouced "new ants" - are pesky critters you wake up to in the kitchen at Crawford when Pickles forgets to do the dinner dishes. I guarantee if he stumbled across that word - not likely since he doesn't read - he'd skip right over it.

11. I walked in and out of the room a couple times and every time I
walked in the room Koppel seemed to be saying Bush was being nuanced.

Man, I know it was random, but it was just so comical.

8. The more nuanced Bush is forced to be,
the better it is for our side, since "nuance" is now becoming a bad word. Trying to pass off simple mindedness as wisdom has a cost.

9. the media is going to decide the election
why have an election????its a waste of time, we should just let the media pick who shall become president---we could set up an election process and let them vote---why do we need the American people anymore, they dont even participate in elections anymore---and guess who the media would elect----my guess is that because they all make ten million a year and need bigger houses and more servants, that it would be royalty like Bush, then comes Jeb and who knows maybe Barbra if she isn't too damn old-----I really don't believe that the republicans understand that there are other qualified people in the country who could be their standard bearers-----

14. They have already picked their man
They want Bush in because they don't have to do any work. They sit back and take Roves notes and talking points and they run with that. They have the easiest job in the USA because it's a BS job.

10. B* isn't nuanced, he's unstable, that's why they usually keep him
under lock and key.

Oh, how I wish Edwards had said that.

15. Koppel went OFF on the "We can't win the war" statement
Edwards was on and said, "We can win the war". And then Koppell asked, about three times, if B* was being "nuanced".
