Seemed like a draw to me, overall. I think Cheney came out ahead on the foreign policy, mainly because Edwards didn't push the right things at the right times, not because Cheney had much substance in that area. On the National front, Edwards came out ahead - though he could have gotten more points if he had pointed out the similarities between his and Cheney's opinions on Gay Marriage and how they both differ completely from the Bush/Cheney platform opinion on that issue.
Ultimately, the most telling and, in my mind accurate, statement came from Edwards - pointing out that liberals value hard work and conservatives value wealth. Spot on. Perfect.
The Bush/Cheney campaign needed more than a draw to recover from the Bush failing from last week.
