One of the challenges of this campaign for the Democrats has been, to put it bluntly, a pretty stupid electorate. Let's face it, folks- if you're still even slightly leaning toward voting for Bush, you're either a millionaire or a box of rocks. Case in point, this undecided's reaction to last night's veep debate:
"I'm confused. They were both so convincing, but it's hard to know who was right," said Marcia Vinick, an uncommitted voter from Scotia, New York, who told The Associated Press that she went into the debate leaning toward voting for President Bush.
"I think Cheney is maybe more dignified in his approach. I found Edwards was more defensive. He was talking a lot more, trying to be more convincing. I like what he said. They were both good speakers."
Woah! Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! Do me a favor- stay home on election day. Oh, and can I come by and show you some brochures I have for this Florida swampland?
From the same article, I liked this from Jim Duffy, Democratic consultant:
"I wish the tickets were flipped, that these guys would be at the top because these are two masterful debaters,"
Ahem. Masterful debaters. Try not to say that too fast, Jim.
