Well, I'm glad that's over with. Cheney is a far more formidable debater than Bush, and though I believe Edwards held his own last night, the debate was closer to a tie, compared to Kerry's obvious win last Thursday.

Urgh, I feel like I need to take a three hour-long shower with a steel wool loofah to feel clean again. The sheer slimyness of Cheney... blekgh! Utterly appalling. I'm glad there only has to be one VP debate, because Bush seems a lot easier to catch lying. Good on Edwards for laying the smackdown on Cheney's falsehoods and distortions; I only wish we had more time.

And I wish Edwards would have explained the reasons why he and Kerry voted for certain things, then against, because I don't imagine it would take long to do, and it would clear up a lot of people's worries about their ability to make strong decisions and eliminate Cheney's favourite "weakness" to exploit.

I could probably write a lot more, but it would just make me all upset again, and I'd rather spend the quiet hours of the morning remembering the way Aaron smiled at me whenever we made eye-contact during rehearsal last night. *happysigh* Life is grand.
