Did you watch any of the VP debate last night? I watched parts of it, live and in varous re-broadcasts. I wasn’t impressed. Neither man projected much gravitas, let alone game. They carried the message, but didn’t seem inclined to think on their feet. I expected this from Cheney, but hoped Edwards would prove more graceful. For example, when asked what qualifications he offers, Edwards listed the qualities America wants in a president. Ooh, had that one memorized, didn’t we?

I really wanted to see Edwards show up Cheney for the evil toady of greed that he is, and give the Bush juggernaut a solid kick in the slats. That didn’t happen, and Edwards was obsessed with mentioning John Kerry. He literally couldn’t stop.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to energize this democratic ticket. But if I felt like Kerry and Edwards are acting, I’d start pounding Red Bull and fiber. Lots of fiber.
