Miami, FL -- Tonight's Vice-Presidential debate (Oct. 5) could be a heart-wrenching experience for Dick Cheney.

According to lunar behavior researcher Jeff Warren, the moon is in the eve of the day of the last quarter, a monthly phase that is known for promoting "bad energy."

In fact, he calls it "the worst day of the month."

Warren predicts the debate will be stressful for both Cheney and John Edwards, but the low-energy phase may be especially unfavorable to the V.P., who has had several heart attacks.

The expert adds that Friday's presidential debate (Oct. 9) is taking place six days before the new moon, so he predicts the interaction between John Kerry and George W. Bush will be "explosive and regressive, particularly during the first part of the debate."

But while there should be a lot of political backstabbing during Friday's debate, Warren says Bush is likely to benefit from the moon because, as he puts it, "he'll have the eye of the tiger."
