A win without a prize

Well, that was a pretty clear Cheney victory. Edwards had a bit of a kid like air about him, and when set next to Cheney, it was accentuated. Cheney also delivered some good body blows to Edwards. Problem is, it will have little effect. This was not a debate which was capable of changing anyone's minds.

Yes, last night we saw a clear contrast: competence vs. incompetence, in-command of fact vs. searching for words, steady vs. shakey -- the contrast between Cheney and Bush couldn't be more obvious!

Now you say it was a "clear Cheney victory" -- it was if the contest was to see how many deceptions he could pack into his 45 minutes.

Ask yourself if ever during the run-up to war you believed that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. If so, you have been deceived and the person most responsible for your being among the misled is Dick Cheney. He denied it last night, but this morning NPR played four different excerpts from Cheney speeches where he clearly made the connection as a support for going to war.
