Cheney Edwards Debate
I'm not liveblogging the debate as I missed a little bit of the beginning (went to dinner with Preethi). However, am I the only one thinking that Edwards is coming off badly?
Leave a comment if you agree or disagree.
Ok I can't watch and not live blog.
9:20
Cheney did a good job on the patriotism question - we're not questioning his patriotism, we're questioning his judgement. Cheney is also doing a good job of bringing up Kerry's record in the Senate and finally brought up Kerry's Gulf War I Vote.
Halliburton. DRINK!
9:25
Ifill's doing a much better job than Leher of asking questions that also put Edwards on the defensive. For instance, she just noted the France/Germany conundrum.
9:30
Cheney is taking apart Edwards again. Can we flip the ticket?
9:35
Edwards wants to implement all 9/11 commission recommendations. Grrr.
Zarqawi. DRINK!! Like 3 times. Halliburton!!! Drink!!!
9:37
This has been a very foreign policy focused debate for a debate that's supposed to discuss domestic and foreign policy issues.
Halliburton!!! DRINK!! 3 times. Now 4 times.
Like the reference to factcheck. Though the site appears to be overloaded. Wonder how that happened?
9:40
Power supply died. That's it.
10:15
Lights been on for a while and my laptop has more charge. Couldn't passup noting "as a prosecutor Kerry's put criminals behind crime..." I about lost my wine (yes, I am playing the drinking game).
Should also note that Edwards did better on domestic issues than he did on foreign issues.
10:20
If my officemate reads this post, Edwards is making the "No, you're the flip-flopper" argument that I said they were doing.
10:30
Closing statements:
Edwards is doing a personal history closing and claiming that Bush and Cheney are out of it (a recent theme). Emphasizing domestic issues.
Cheney reviewing history of the office and hinting at the great men/ great times meme. Emphasizing war on terror.
Preethi just noted that she likes Edwards more than Kerry, but still thinks Edwards pales in comparison to Cheney.

Update
If you missed your chance to play the VP drinking game during the debate, here's the transcript.
