] WASHINGTON - Sen. John Edwards and Vice President Cheney clashed
] repeatedly in their debate last night, making impressive-sounding
] but misleading statements on issues including the war in Iraq,
] tax cuts and each other's records, often omitting key facts along
] the way.

Here are my own thoughts, after watching the debate live.

...

Also, there was one time that Cheney said something that was incorrect, which was when he said he'd never met Edwards before.

[ Well, actually, there were a number of times Cheney said things that were either misleading or patently false. Edwards too. Wether ones misleadings were worse than the others is a matter each person must decide for themselves, but they're there. You're correct that Cheney's much better able to make his lies sound like well reasoned truth, however. He's a professional, and he's been around a while... he doesn't get worked up and he's got a solid command of the "facts" he wants to put forth.

I think Edwards' errors are both less frequent and less egregious than Cheney's. -k]
