democrats? what happened to your love for john edwards?

[Notre Dame rules!]

Were it not for Edwards, Kerry would never have closed the gap as much as he did after the DNC.  Edwards may have been a weak candidate overall  (let's be honest, he was),  but he breathed life into an otherwise stagnant Kerry campaign.  Unfortunately for Kerry, Edwards rose started to wilt when he was pitted against Cheney in the debate.

By the way Walter, Mo Do looks much better in pictures than she does in person.  Must be the airbrushing.

Unlike Kerry, John Edwards actually had a message.

Who needs a message when you've got a plan?

Ah, but alas, it was a secret plan.

Am I the only one who thinks that Cheney crushed Edwards in the debate?

Not really.  I noticed several times throughout the debate when Cheney would totally avoid the question asked by the moderator.  And Im not talking about giving a fuzzy response.  Im talking about not answering the question at all.  For example, When asked about poverty he talked about "no child left behind."  Overall, I think it was close, but definitley not a "crushing" victory for Dick Cheney.  If you wanna' see a crushing victory look at any of the 3 presidential debates from 2004.   

I thought that each of them won a debate and that one was a tie, if not a slight edge for Bush.   Bush really only lost the first one.
