So Who Won the VP Debate?
As usual, Andrew Sullivan has the best analysis for my money. He's fair and on record as predicting that Cheney would clobber Edwards. After watching the debate, though, he feels strongly that Edwards clobbered Cheney -- at least with those who matter most -- the undecideds. The polls are split on this one. ABC, which oversampled Republicans, shows Cheney won. CBS polled only undecided voters and clocked the win for Edwards.
Most say it doesn't matter unless someone really knocks the other out. I'm inclined to agree. This story has a short shelf-life in the media because the presidential candidates are back at it this Friday with Debate # 2.
