the veep debates

As somebody who seriously dislikes this administration and its policies, and somebody who seriously distrusts the current veep, I have to say that this debate was like a defensive football game; in that there was not really a clear and concise winner-both sides did their best and both sides were able to claim small victories (and I hate to admit this, but Cheney actually was able to come off so much more human than he has been portrayed; he did a fantastic job) however, I do think that Edwards held himself well, as you would expect from a trial lawyer, but as well, when he made mistakes, he was very warm, human and American about them. In the end, I call this one a draw, which is what I expected from this debate. This was more even because intellectually, which is a taboo word amongst the Reps, these two American men were very evenly matched and in the end, displays the foresight and intelligence of their superiors when tapping them as veeps or soon to be veeps, whatever the case might be…
