Cheney won hands down. The thing that hurt Edwards teh most was his poor record of attendance. There were a number of times when Edwards would go on and on as to what needs to be done on an issue and Cheney just replied with well we voted on that one in the Senate and youi weren't there. He also seemed very nervous, tearing pieces of paper acting childishly defensive and pointing constantly at Cheney and the moderator (if you don't know why it's wrong to point then there's no point in debating it). There was even a point where the moderator accidently started to ask Edwards a second question in a row and when Cheney reminded her it was his turn she agknoledged that she had asked Edwards the last question and added "The question was about Isreal, even though Sen. Edwards didn't talk about it at all" Edwards intereupted in the must frantic juvinile way with " did too, Cheney was the one who didn't talk about it!"
