Normalized $A(Q^2)$, $B(Q^2)$, $G_Q(Q^2)$ and $T_{20}$ are obtained in a simple QCD-inspired model. We find that $G_{+-}^+$ plays an important role in $G_Q(Q^2)$. Our numerical results are consistent with the data in the intermediate energy region.9 pages, REVTeX file, 5 figuresNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyLight-cone QCD predictions for elastic ed-scattering in the intermediate energy regiontext
