They really need to impose a two drink minimum on this thing. Then we'll really see a debate.

I take it this debate is going a lot better than the Presidential one?

I feel kind of badly for Cheney in that his boss has put him in such a terrible position, what with having a lesbian daughter. He made a good move to just thank Edwards for his kind words and leave it at that.

Its back. What was the question?

I thought so, but as someone showed on these boards earlier, the Congress can restrict certain things from FF&C and the so-called "Defense of Marriage Act"

exempts gay marriages from FF&C.

Well, the moderator just tried to bait both Cheney and Edwards into attacking each other on medical malpractice reform.

They're both doing a good job of keeping it professional.

I thought it was rather tasteless to ask about AIDS just in America. It's a fucking international problem and I don't blame Edwards and Cheney for trying to touch on that fact.

I don't care for this moderator.

I'm impressed by both so far but I expected as much. These are two eloquent men that know their shit. Its really showing the utter mismatch between Kerry and Bush when you see these two go at it.

There has been some good smacks from both ends. One of my favorites was Cheney's "I've presided over the Senate almost every Tuesday. The first time I met you was on this stage tonight." Youch!!!!

I think they're on their best behavior. Nobody wants to be construed as a bigger putz than Bush was in Round One.

"You want me to answer questions about his qualifications?"

I've got a feeling Cheney doesn't care much for this moderator either.

Who is this moderator anyways? I missed the introduction. She doesn't look familiar.

Agreed.

Surely the moderator didn't decide the questions herself with no one else's input, though, right? The quality of the questions themselves can't be all her fault, I wouldn't think.

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2004-10-05 10:22pm

Wait ... they're not allowed to mention John Kerry's name?

Gustav32Vasa · Post by **Gustav32Vasa** » 2004-10-05 10:23pm

Is edwards flurting with the moderator?

Ecah moderator comes up with their own questions. Remember in the first debate the moderator made a point saying that he made up the questions himself and no one had seen them before hand.

She is rather annoying.

Uh, they were earlier in the debate, weren't they?

Ok, next question then. How were they chosen? Who is she?

She soooo wants him.

Then again her only other choice up there is Cheney.

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2004-10-05 10:28pm

FUCK....she can't keep count. Who the fuck chose her, it's embarassing

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2004-10-05 10:35pm

Edwards mentioned that the prescription drug ads on TV were out of control. Does that mean that he's going to crack down on the number of times per day a fucking Enzyte commercial can be aired on Comedy Central?

If so, my reservations in voting for Kerry just melted away.

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2004-10-05 10:36pm

Cheney just snubbed Edwards in the acknowledgments of his closing remarks.

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2004-10-05 10:37pm

Look Cheney is peddling fear in his closing statement. Surprise surprise.

Gustav32Vasa · Post by **Gustav32Vasa** » 2004-10-05 10:38pm

So, Who won?
