The Washington Note Archives: "Edwards got a lot of good blows in, but not enough to win the debate, which in my view was not a memorable debate to begin with.
The biggest reason why I think that George Bush won tonight is that Cheney made him disappear."
Bush was mentioned only 9 times tonight -- 4 times by Cheney, twice by Edwards and 3 times by Gwen Ifill.
In contrast, Kerry was mentioned 64 times overall -- 34 times by Edwards, and an additional 30 times by Ifill and Cheney. Two of the times Edwards invoked Kerry's name he was breaking Gwen Ifill's rules in the debate.
This night became about what Kerry was for or against, but Bush as a target simply vanished.
