Washington, D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on tonight's Vice Presidential debate in Cleveland:
"In a matter of five days and two debates, John Kerry and John Edwards have done what George Bush and Dick Cheney have not been able to do in four years: Provide a clear, concise plan to make us stronger at home and respected in the world.
"John Edwards tonight was the clear winner because he communicated to Americans that he shares their values and understands the challenges they face. He is a strong advocate for John Kerry and the Democratic vision for America.
"Vice President Cheney showed that he is completely out of touch with reality on Iraq and the economy, using disingenuous rhetoric meant to hide the Bush Administration's failed record in Iraq and at home.
"John Kerry and John Edwards offer hope for a fresh start in Iraq to finish the job and will fight to put the middle class first. It was clear tonight that they present the kind of hope and optimism that have always defined the American spirit. And they will provide the leadership we need to build a more secure and more prosperous America."
