I think it was a draw, no real substance on either side but Edwards doing exactly what he was supposed to do, not wilting in the face of the Rebulican spin machine, no more than Cheney appeared defensive in response to the Dem spin machine. Time will tell and the oil will keep on flowing. It's just going to get a lot more expensive, ( well... more than it already has).
Amazing how hard it is to keep a grip on the bigger picuture with the media "follow the lemmings strategy" running full steam ahead based on their respective bias. Whatever happened to the theory that our presidential canidates should be exceptional, moral people that give us real choice and are not in need of fear tactics as the primariry campain platform and a forest of sound bites funded by corporate, special intrest lobby payouts? Please.... May I have another placebo? Hmmm... maybe I was sleeping that day in Political Science and misunderstood.
Year after year we continue to lap up the lies, the insinuation, the promises and continue to be fasinated by the machine as if we really know what is going on and have any tangible effect upon it's all to predictable results. I believe that a fundamental change in accountability for those that "serve our better interest" is the only truth that provides us answers to intelligently arrive at any conclusions.
But what the hell do I know, you will find me listed as a registered lemming just like 95% of the rest of the population in the US.
