Both of them were goading each other. Aside from the nearly
constant stream of mud-slinging between the two of them, it was actually a pretty good debate. During those few precious moments when the two were actually discussing pertinent issues instead of bitching about their senate attendance records or their vote history, they were actually both presenting some interesting information.
In my opinion, Edwards did a better job. He
did antagonize Cheney, but not with the frequency of his opponent and he always made a point of returning to the topic at hand.
Also, there were a few key issues that Edwards was clearly more prepared for. The same-sex marriage issue was the main one that stuck out in my head. He, in a very clear and concise manner, explained his and Kerry's opinions on the matter and pointed out the futility of Bush's attempts to Constituionally ban gay marriage throughout the country. Cheney's response was basically "I stand by the President". During the latter half of the topic he
literally said nothing in response to Edward's arguments.
