STOP THE DEBATE I WANT TO GET OFF!!!
John Edwards walks off the stage looking anxiously behind him…
HE’S CHECKING TO SEE IF THE NEW RECTUM VP CHENEY RIPPED OPEN WAS SHOWING THROUGH HIS PANTS!
The first half of the debate Cheney was outstanding. He took Kerry/Edwards apart on Iraq and, more importantly, Kerry’s impossible to defend 20 year record of being on the wrong side of the debate on national defense. Why Bushteam did not follow up on this issue after the Republcian convention is a mystery and, to my mind, a tactical blunder of mammoth proportions. It may be that Bushteam always planned on bringing Kerry’s Senate record into the campaign in the last 30 days rather than harping on it for the months previous. If so, they’re either much smarter than I am or are completely clueless.
I’m not the only one who feels this way. Crushkerry has been saying this for weeks. And Vodkapundit has been very critical at times of Bushteams’ penchant for sitting on their lead. Maybe losing that first debate so badly has awakened the sleeping giant. Let’s hope so.
As to the debate itself, MSM will probably call such a clear Cheney win a draw. They’ll also scramble to make the point that Kerry hasn’t lost any “momentum” as a result of Edwards being bitchslapped repeatedly by Cheney. Fact is, old Dick did his Boss a huge favor…he’s loaded the bases for Bush so that he can hit the grand slam on Friday.
More tommorrow….
