[RedPickle]

Cheney likes to muffle his microphone.

ok thanks

Yeah, you'd think they would have coached him on that, in terms of sitting at the table with a lavalier mike.

yeah, that really strikes me as annoying as hell.
especially when listening on the radio.

but i agree...these questions AND answers suck.
cheney came out strong but i think they both just keep repeating so much.

edwards really screwed the pooch on the "dont mention john kerry" thing.
im sure that will be a gigantic issue 3 minutes from now.

 

[GDT]

Anyone else think the host has the hots for edwards?

Yeah, I wish he hadn't. It is kind of a dumb, gimmicky question, though, IMO.

200k = top 20% of income in the US.

Not so. According to Census Bureau statistics released this year, less than 3.3% of American families earn over $200K. The top 5% earn over $170K. You have to drop to $98,200 to get to the top 20%.



Edit, just for completeness, I just found the household income stats. Curiously, they are lower than family income: top 20% = $86,860, top 5% = $154,120, less than 1.7% of households over $200K.

Either way, the top 20% is nowhere close to $200K.

 

[Nightfall]

Fox news headlines are going to break right after this debate.

"Edwards broke the rule twice! Cheating Democrats!"

 

[Vadatajs]

Cheney is a bastard. He lies readily and confidently, and relies on the fear card too much.

Edwards pwned himself with the 'without mentioning your running mate's name' question.

 

[dmcowen674]

This is getting funnier and funnier

 

[andy2812]

Why couldn't cheney respond to the need for a terrorist watch list?

 

[Infohawk]

Once again, Cheney doesn't respond. Can't fit in any underhanded attacks.

 

[dbk]

Why can't he say John Kerry?

Retard

or Cheater

well since he is a trial lawyer I'd say Cheater.

"Can I say his name now?" :roll:

 

[Kanalua]

Much better debate than the last presidential debate...much more engaging and open

 

[dbk]

OH NOES, FLIP-FLOP

He only wants to attack. No substance. Attack. Slime. Cheap shots.

Fear 9/11 and nuclear bomb. Remember those words and be afraid.
