During the broadcast (or what we could call a "re-broadcast" for Fox 
News) did you notice any differences between the performances or other 
aspects of the presentation?  After watching "Outfoxed" recently ( 
http://imdb.com/title/tt0418038/ ) I would be inclined to believe that 
they were delaying so they could cut away from anything that made John 
Edwards look good, as well as remove anything potentially damaging for 
Cheney.  I highly recommend you all check out the above mentioned 
title, as it contains good information about large-scale media 
consolidation and some of the effects it is having on national 
discourse.

As far as the Veep debate last night, I think it was a much more 
aggressive debate.  Thanks should go out to the moderator for asking 
tough (altho very long) questions.  I think both the candidates did 
very well with their handling of the questions and their opponent.  
However, it was clear towards the end that both were tired and perhaps 
a little exasperated.  Cheney suddenly stopped rebutting Edwards and 
John-John was slipping into comfortable barroom banter, while shaking 
and stuttering a bit.  Still, many tough challenges and lots of 
aggressive feedback.  This one felt more like an actual "debate."
