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...


As far as the aggression goes, Cheney was usually on the defensive, and his counterattacks were sometimes valid but not very forceful. As for the repetition, of course it was ridiculous, since that seems to be what sells these days. I didn't pick up on an excess of nervousness on Edwards' part - more like a contrast to Cheney's overly calm demeanor.

Based on what I saw, Cheney was far from tearing Edwards a new hole.
