The smile vs. the scowl The Edwards-Cheney debate will offer one of the starkest contrasts since Clay fought Liston. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Tim Grieve salon.com July 7, 2004 \| "I can't imagine two human beings that are more polar opposites than John Edwards and Dick Cheney," said Alan Schroeder, a professor at Northeastern University and expert on presidential debates. "I see Cheney as this dour character who exists on the dark side, with a sense of suspicion and almost paranoia about him, and then you've got the sunny optimist Edwards, who was very reluctant to criticize his opponents in the primaries, never went negative, and had a message that was serious but not the least bit paranoid. There is so much that's different in their personalities and their politics; their debate could be an unpredictable, volatile mix of elements." Of course, Democrats hope that the debate will be more than unpredictable and volatile; they hope it will be a chance -- perhaps their best chance -- to put a human face on the differences in policy and attitude that divide Kerry and Bush and to call the administration to account for its actions both at home and abroad. "The one thing that has not happened with either Bush of Cheney is that neither of them has been directly confronted with their record in a systematic way," Schroeder said. "If Edwards can do that with a prosecutorial approach, it seems that would be a smart thing."
