The Vice Presidential Debate was more interesting than originally believed. Unlike most VP Debates are dull and uninteresting, this debate had a sense of excitement and was worthwhile viewing.
Vice President Dick Cheney and Senator John Edwards performed well, but the Vice President was the clearcut winner. He was the winner unless you listen to the liberal-media or look at some online polls. The DNC sent thousands of emails, again, to encourage democrats to vote in online polls. Some of the recipients took this to hear and created robots that would clog online polls with thousands of votes for Edwards. This, again, proves that the Democrats are desparate and will do anything to skew polls and the media.
There is no doubt, however, that Dick Cheney won. His knowledge of all the issues dwarfed Edwards prepared material. Most of the evening, Edwards was unable to counter Cheney's knowledge or ability to make clear statements of fact.
Why did Cheney win so big?
1. Cheney knew the issues, he knew Kerry and Edwards records in the Senate, and he was poised and to the point. If you watched the timing lights, you may have noticed that with few exceptions, Chenery did not feel the need to fill the time. In one instance, Cheney declined to use the additional thirty second rebuttal. He answered the question.
2. One of the most telling moments was when Cheney described Edwards attendance record in the Senate and committees. "I did not meet you until this evening," will resonate with voters. If Edwards does not show up for work,m where will he be during a crisis? "Senator Gone" is unequipped to be Vice President.
3. Edwards was programmed. Most of his answers came from Kerry's appearance in the Presidential Debate, Kerry's stump speeches, and DNC talking points. There was nothing original in his answers. Edwards was so programmed he could not refrain from mentioning Kerry's name when asked not to by the moderator.
Will the results of this debate have an affect on voters? Possibly. Edwards truly demonstrated that he is not ready to be "a heartbeat away."
