    Tomorrow is the first - and only, oddly enough - Vice Presidential debate, between Democrat John Edwards and Republican Richard Cheney. The debate will be held at Case Western Reserve in Cuyahoga Falls, OH - just outside of Ohio's third largest city, Cleveland.

    John Edwards is a self-made millionaire who made his millions by debating. he's much like John Kerry in that sense. Richard Cheney, however, is sort of a grandfater-figure compared to Edwards, and is going to attack Edwards by saying that he doesn't have enough experience.

    Does anyone have any predictions for a winner in this debate?

    Personally, I feel that Edwards is going to come out of this one on top. You don't make millions by debating just to lose to a money-hungry fiend.

    It'll be tough. As much as I'd love Edwards to come out victorious, Cheney has alot of experience in debating. Cheney is also a much more fierce person than Edwards, and for some reason toughness equates to votes with alot of Americans. If Edwards can stump Cheney (although unlikely), maybe with a question on Halliburton (a must-mention thing), Edwards may get the edge. I don't think this debate will have much impact on voting anyways.

    Kerry's problem (to me) was that he was far too passive when he did the debate. If Edwards strikes hard and gets a lot of points across in a strong way, he could sway a lot of Bush voters.

    However, something tells me that Cheney's experience is going to come into play this time around. He's been in politics for a long time and knows the way America works.

    Hmm..this is going to be televised right? 9PM like the other debate?

    Edwards is not near as experienced as Cheney is. Cheney will tear him to pieces. Bush lacked style in the debate last week, but not substanance. Cheney will beat Edwards in both, hands down.

    Cheney might have experience, but Edwards is a prosicutor that will probably tear Cheney to pieces if he talks about any doing with domestic issues or Iraq. John Kerry and John Edwards are a good team that will win over all these debates (last week was supposed to be Bush's strongest area) and possibly (lets have our fingers crossed) the elections. John Kerry is a great speaker/ veteran of war and John Edwards is a great speaker also and a lawyer. Bush on the other hand has gotten two DUIs (the other side of the legal spectrum), wasn't even supposed to be president and is the puppet of the Bush administration and Cheney is the puppeter.

    Anyone here ever see the Sloganator? :lol: "Billionares for Bush" reminded me of it. I love political satire.

    i think that Edwards will win w/ all of his experience of beinga lawer. you cant make millions in that field w/o some skills. also i dont think that Cheney will be good for Bush at all. his views are different as Bush and he sometimes loses contact w/ his puppetiers(if you get what i mean) and says stuff that Bush doesnt agree w/(such as gay marraiges) so in some ways i dont think it will be good for Bush at all.

    I'm rooting for Edwards, actually. Even though I'm against Kerry.

    Reason? I ####### hate Cheney. He just comes across as a pretentious, self-loving, egomaniac ####.

    Congratulations! You drove the final name right into the coffin. (You can decide whose coffin it is.) That's exactly what Cheney is.

    Because I told you not to post in the thread if you have nothing useful to say. A sock filled with sand and broken glass shards could've comprehended that better than you did.

    I just don't trust Dick Cheney. He;s untrustable.


    Ever seen Palpatine in Star Wars? Yeah. That's him.

    I've heard that Cheney is physically unfit for a stressful job such as vice president.

    Even without that...I'm rooting for Edwards. I had hoped that he would get the presidential nomination, as I believe that he's probably the best choice. But if he can't be president, at least we can get him in there somewhere.

    He has a Pacemaker.

    So, I guess if he got to nervous and whatnot, his heart could explode, or something.
