No way, I totally disagree. Edwards dominated in every debate and was great at keeping the focus on the issues he was interested in. Cheney doesn't answer crucial questions and built his V.P. campaign last time on Unity- something he has worked hard against while in office. I think that Edwards' positive, calm demeanor is going to make Cheney look angry and patronizing.
But I guess we'll have to wait till the first debate- I'm stoked.
