No Excitement in VP Debate

B. John 358 Views

I read a good summary of the Vice Presidential debate on Salon.com.? I agree that mainly Cheney managed to continue throwing out information he knows to be inaccurate, but Edwards seemed more concerned with making his talking points that responding to those false statements. Neither hurt each other’s campaign, but Edwards missed some chances to hit some home runs.

I guess most of us Democrats were hoping Edwards to add to the momentum started during last weeks debates. I don’t think he slowed it, but he didn’t add to it either.
