Veep Debate

Well, I just got done watching the vice presidential debates and I have an opinion. Vice President Cheney did exceedingly well. He did what I think Bush should've done during the debates and threw Edward's and Kerry's voting records into the mix. Their absence from over %70 of the votes and the fact that Cheney hadn't met him during Senatorial meetings or at all till tonight made an impact in my opinion. That concern, the lack of attendance, is, in my opinion, very relevant to the race and should be known by the people. It's not mud slinging unless it's false accusations or character assassination.

Unfortunately, I don't think this debate will have much of an effect on the polls. Vice Presidential debates don't draw many viewers and thus doesn't make a huge difference in the polls. I think that Bush knows now however that he needs to pull some larger punches than he did in the last debate. That'll be good for him.
