VP Showdown In Ohio Tonight

The only chance to see the two Vice President candidates go head to head is tonight. With very different styles and messages, this should be an interesting showdown between two very different men. Dick Cheney is one tough cookie, kind of like that uncle you know will lecture you about your grades. John Edwards is a friendlier figure, but don't underestimate his knowledge and ability to think quickly on his feet. Neither man is just a pretty face and traditionally the VPs really go for the jugular vein while the Presidential candidates play it cool. You can expect Halliburton to be an issue as well as Edwards past career as a trial lawyer.
