Although there was indeed a less clear "winner" - which is to say both men did well and it wasn't like the first debate where it was plainly obvious Kerry did extremely well, while Bush did quite poorly - I found this quite interesting...
The Cheney quote:
"The first time I met you was when you walked on this stage tonight."
Buuuut...
Addressing the National Prayer Breakast, Cheney said: “Thank you. Thank you very much. Congressman Watts, Senator Edwards, friends from across America and distinguished visitors to our country from all over the world, Lynne and I honored to be with you all this morning.” [FDCH Political Transcripts, Cheney Remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, 2/1/01]
So either Cheney's only real zinger during the debate was the product of a calculated lie... or a flat out bad memory.
Well then.
