Debate Winner

I call it a tie. Both sides landed some heavy blows, but no knockouts. Cheney's probably hit a bit harder, but Edwards's closing statement was better. The impact will be minimal since by Thursay, the media will move on to pre-gaming the next presidential debate.

Overall, I thought Cheney prevailed. One that hit home was the "90% US casualties". Cheney was able to retort that the 90% number only works if you don't count Iraqis. A major thrust of Kerry-Edwards on Iraq is to broaden the coalition, but they don't praise our existing allies much and France/Germany are already saying "take a hike". I keep expecting Bush-Cheney to ask for the names of 3 countries that will sign on with the Kerry administration. Heck, they'd probably stump him if they asked for one.
