In heated exchanges that skirted some of the debates
negotiated rules, the two vice presidential candidates met in Cleveland
for their one and only debate.
With less than a month to go before the election- and the race so close-- the V- P confrontation was full of sharp criticism and accusations.
They mainly clashed over the war in Iraq, the economy, and each other's records.
Susan Roberts is in Washington, D-C and joins us now with highlights from the debate.

the attacks of September 11th and Saddam Hussein.

TOO OFTEN TO LEAD.
CHENEY SOT: 21:26:13 we have not seen the kind of consistency that
commander in chief has to have in order to be a leader in wartime and
see strategy thru to victory.
ROUND TWO BROUGHT THE WASHINGTON INSIDER AND FORMER TRIAL LAWYER TO
DOMESTIC ISSUES.. WITH THE ECONOMY FRONT AND CENTER.
CHENEY SOT 21:54:37 I think kerry edwards approach is to raise taxes and
give government more control over lives of individual citizens. We think
that is the wrong way to go. There is a fundamental difference of
opinion here.
EDWARDS SOT 21:56:01 we are for more tax cuts for the middle class than
theyre for, but not for more tax cuts for multimillionaires and it is a
fundamental difference about what we think needs to be done in this
