Veep Debate Recap
And only 38 minutes into it!
Sen. Edwards: [some stuff, Bush bad, some numbers, blah blah]
VP Cheney: That's false.
…
VP Cheney: [Some stuff, John Kerry bad, blah blah]
Sen. Edwards: No, that's untrue
…
This is pretty boring so far. Go Twins.
UPDATE: OK, it got better after I posted this. It still seemed to me that not much happened. I thought the candidates came out more or less even, given the vast disparity between the two men. Apparently I am just biased, though, because Joe Scarborough and Andrea Mitchell just told me that Cheney steamrolled the outmatched Edwards. I figured beforehand that a Cheney "win" would be good for the great election story of 2004, so maybe that will happen. Also on MSNBC someone said that they would be lampooned for the split screen reactions, but was I alone in only noticing one remarkable reaction shot for each candidate? Compared to Thursday, there was nothing to talk about on that front, I thought.
I'll probably have other people's reactions tomorrow.

I also thought that Kerry got a slight edge last Thursday, which the media told me was a Kerry slam dunk, so maybe I am just not an extreme kind of guy.
