Presidential Debate

[gekko]

Just saw the vice presidential debate.  Foreign policy stuff was the same as the Kerry/Bush one, domestic stuff didn't have anything new either.  At the beginning Edwards looked like he hadn't see the Kerry/Bush one, since the roles were reversed with Edwards getting flustered and Cheney looking on top of things.  The second part was pretty boring.  And again when they gave numbers you can't be sure whether the numbers are good or not.

I didn't start a new topic because I don't want to start anyther thread with "blah blah blah Iraq blah blah terrorists blah blah WMD's blah blah..." since there already have been a lot of threads like that with not much new information.

Heh, I thought almost exactly the opposite. I found that early on, Edwards looked really good. Where Cheney looked bored at best (annoyed if not angry to be there at worst), Edwards seemed to be in control -- he got some good shots in and really took it to the Bush administration.

Then the second half of the debate rolled around. And, well... Edwards may not want to quit his day job. Yowza. Any ground Kerry gained last week was just flushed down the toilet. Cheney really nailed Edwards and Kerry on a few points (if he can't stand up to pressure from Howard Dean...), and Edwards just looked flustered and inexperienced.

How else can I put this... I'm not American, but if I were, I'd much prefer Kerry be my president than Bush... however, I would not be comfortable at all knowing Edwards was the next in line for the seat.
