I’m glad Cheney is both exposing Kerry’s voting record as well as mentioning the “international test” that Kerry declared as necessary in their debate. This is something that Bush should have done, but didn’t. At least someone is.

I do think it is interesting to watch the hand gestures used by Cheney. You’d think sitting down would limit that, but he’s found quite a range of motion. On the other hand, he’s slouching onto his elbows and I really think he should sit up straight.

One difference I see, which is pretty big, is that the two debators can speak directly to each other. At least, Edwards is addressing Cheney directly - I haven’t heard Cheney directly address Edwards yet. There is still lots of time.

Edwards just stated that the weapons inspectors needed more time to find whether or not there were WMD’s. If I recall, Saddam was not allowing them to do their jobs. How could they have discovered anything if they were not even allowed to inspect? Further, how do we know Saddam was not deliberately postponing the UN inspectors while he hid the WMD’s?

I’m trying my hand at another Live Blog … I am watching the VP debate on CSPAN-2 so there is no commentary. This time I’m not even going to be reading any other blogs while I write this. I am going to honestly appraise what I hear and what I see. I figure I can do better this time, as last time was my first and I’ve learned a thing or two or three!

Wish me luck, I’ll need it.
