While Edwards did not do well against Cheney, it was in a large part because Kerry muzzled him. And that is one of the reasons Kerry lost in 04. Had Kerry used some of Edwards ideas and themes in his campaign, he may well have won.
But the idea that Edwards is a lightweight debater on issue he is passionate and informed on is absurd, you do not get to be a very successful attorney by turning to silly putty in front of a judge and jury.
And the calm cool debating style of Cheney would flop badly in 08, Fred Thompson tried it and look where it got him.
It may go over like gangbusters in front of only Republicans for Cheney, but to most people, Dick Cheney is a moral degenerate way past any hope of redemption.
In campaign 08, I look for Edwards to be active, as for Dick Cheney, I doubt it.
