7. Goven the right opportunities as VP, he'll be your Pres in 2012!

[napi21]

6. Back with when Cheney said he never met you!

And you didn't respond.

[scarletwoman]

8. Whoooaaaaa! Edwards nails * on cheerleading!

Conversation starts out about running (i.e. jogging), Jay says * runs too, and asks "who would win in a 10k race?" Edwards' college football playing gets brought up, then Edwards says something to the effect that he doesn't know if shaking "those things" (pom-poms, obviously) on the sidelines is an equivalent athletic endeavor -- ZING!

Jay's jaw literally dropped! It was hilarious!

sw

[napi21]

[AmerDem]

16. Great showing by Edwards

He did fantastic job!

[AnIndependentTexan]

17. Aww the women love Edwards

[aquart]

29. Because his wife is a real woman.

[Bleacher Creature]

18. I know this is corny, but

. . . that guy just makes me proud to be a Democrat.

[checks-n-balances]

26. Yep, and he makes me proud to be a NC native, even though it's turned red

since I lived there.

He was fantastic - star quality!!

He'll do a fantastic job of presiding over the Senate, too - especially as opposed to Cheney!

[RaleighNCDUer]

36. We may turn it back this year. I think NC is still in play.

on edit: Of course, I don't get out of Raleigh very much.

[Infomaniac]

19. Great Show!

Soap is on the way and "I think it's his battery." were my two favorite comments. Okay, off to bed. Must be up bright and early to make the donuts so I can sneak out of work early to catch the last debate.

[tjdee]

20. What a great guy.

John Edwards is a plus plus plus.
He didn't let Leno sway him into talking about b.s. (especially the daughters thing, what was that about??), and he's got a GREAT SMILE.

Which helped a lot when he said "I think it's his battery" and the pom pom exchange.

He's my guy.

[TrustingDog]

23. Jay was probably hoping for a diss from Edwards against the 2Bushettes...

but didn't get it.
good for John.

[AmerDem]

28. Leno' is a perv

I remember watching him being interviewed by Howard Stern and when Stern pressured him on certain sex issues Leno coward down and was truly embarrassed and at a loss for words. He had a look though of the cat that ate the canary.

[TrustingDog]

22. Excellent presence! What a guy!

[Senator Lamb]

24. oh my

even for a straight guy, I am charmed by him.

[jean]

25. everytime I see Edwards, in any venue, he is so uplifting. He really

brings his persona to their phrase, hope is on the way. Even if we've had a heavy day full of nasty bush lies and scare tactics, if you see or hear Edwards, you'll feel so much better and full of hope.

[tjdee]

27. This is the key with Edwards.

I don't know if its the youthful look or what, but he's got a tremendous ability to ooze sunshine.

[jean]

31. it's not just his sunshine, but he is utterly competent, as well.

[TrustingDog]

30. a breath of fresh air he is, compared to that sewage there now.

[AP]

33. Happy Days are Here Again -- That was FDR's '32 campaign theme song.

When America was in the depths of Depression and fascists at home and abroad were trying to destroy democracy -- ie, in the darkest days of American history -- FDR rain a campaign and won with the theme that Hope was On The Way. It wasn't "don't worry, be happy." It was that we can do better and we will. That's what Edwards captures.

[Delarage]

32. Which one's Cheney?

He said when he picked his son up after the debate, he looked around and said suspiciously---"Which one's Cheney?"

Also, was Jay asking him about Cheney ogling one of his relatives?
They seemed to talk around it.

[Supersedeas]

34. and where is the Vice President these days...undisclosed?
