From every other standpoint (debating style, agressiveness, staying on message), Edwards won. He basically ignored the specific questions in favor of hammering home his main points. Sadly, that's the more effective tactic these days.



You're kidding, right?

Edwards was almost as bad as Bush last week in terms of style. The repetition on his part was mind-bending and he came off as nervous as heck during most of the debate. I don't believe I've EVER seen one person blink so much in my life. He was aggressive, though Cheney would fly right back at him and more often than not, end up broiling him.

Staying on message? If you mean repeating the same point ad-naseum, then I would agree.

Any way you cut this one, Cheney tore Edwards a new hole, much in the same way Kerry did to Bush last week...
