No, not mine. Everyone seems to have poured over the vice-Presidential debate with a fine-tooth comb. Dan Kennedy’s summary I think is the most on-the-mark.
Last night was potentially dangerous territory for the Kerry campaign. Four years ago, Joe Lieberman was thought to have a huge advantage over Cheney - and got his clock cleaned. By contrast, Edwards fought Cheney at least to a tie, and possibly better than that. Kerry couldn’t have asked for a better performance as he heads into his second debate with Bush this Friday.
Josh Marshall and the TNR crowd are harping on the outright lies in Cheney’s statements - a worthy task, but something Edwards didn’t do effectively last night (calling something a distortion doesn’t show how it’s a distorition).
Last but not least, Fafblog has the funniest “liveblogging.”
And can we just say for the record how ridiculous it is for the campaigns to expect blogs and online chatters to spin the debates their way?
