Yeah, and Bush said he works hard. Should we roll the Crawford footage some more?

The next Swiftboat ad will take care of this. It'll be good.

The people they're trying to reach now are undecided voters, the people who don't pay much attention to the pundits at all.
Many, many more people see the headlines in tomorrow's paper or catch 20 seconds of CNN than watch the debates. The undecideds won't pay close attention to what the candidates actually said, they will absorb the general consensus that percolates through the media.

Like I said before, the fun is back in politics.

(Four years of one-sided "liar, stoopid, monkeyface, evil, Hitler" may be fun for one side. Now, finally, it's fun for us, too. The idea of any Dem decrying the "politics of personal destruction" is just such a hoot.)

Actually, in the interests of role consistency, I will say that my take is exactly opposite yours. Gore lost the spin, and won the debate.
But since he won the popular vote, and would have won Florida if the ballots captured people's preferences, I think my point stands and we are actually in agreement.

Biased Questions?

From instapundit

Is anyone saying the obvious? This foreign policy debate was all about putting Bush on the defensive. Why no attention to Kerry's 20 year Senate record of votes and statements on foreign policy, military and intell issues?! All I heard from Lehrer the entire evening was one sorta, kinda follow-up question on Kerry's post Viet Nam protest.

The questioning did sort of range from neutral, to attack-Bush, to neutral, to attack-Bush, to . . . .

But it was Lehrer. We expected that.

Really? I have never undestood how people think that this is something that the dems do more than the republicans. Did we miss the eight years of Clinton harassment?

Penske & Co. were a figment of our imaginations...

No, I think it would have been more accurate for me to say "the idea of anyone decrying . . . " It's like "my opponent breathes AIR - you must not let him win . . ."
