Just answer the questions please, John!

I'm just pissed because Edwards kept getting out of the questions I wanted to see him struggle with. I'm not about to do as I did with the first debate and try to examine the effect on the election with this one. I just don't have any clue as to how the "Average American Voter" might have processed all that spin and bullshit.

Much more substantial and a far superior exchange... I was just disappointed by the results of the foreign policy part. Both guys avoided their soft spots effectively, and neither should have let the other get away with it. I zoned out during the domestic discussion, as neither one is pushing anything even remotely interesting to me.

To me, Edwards came off like a complete ass razzing Cheney about his daughter, which is pretty much what he did. I doubt it affected anyone that didn't know about Mary beforehand much though.

I'd rather have sen them go at it with chairs ala Jerry Springer.

That would have been better.

None of these guys seems even remotely interested in engaging any topic completely. This just isn't anything even remotely similar to a national dialog. It's just sad.
