It's Spinpossible!!!
Something interesting about debates this year... In 00 general concensus after the debate was that Gore won but the pundits and RW spin machines managed to change that perception over the course of several days.

Four years later with a more pervasive Internet including the likes of DU, Josh Marshall, etc. it's becoming impossible for RW spinmeisters to manufacture reality. Even CNN tried by erasing last night's poll about JE and DC in the debates and starting over. But the results still show JE as a clear winner.

Have you noticed that "spin" is becoming a part of the media's own verbage? They themselves talk about how everyone spins everything into oblivion. The spin is becoming the story and the Internet is making it harder for spinmeisters to manufacture reality.

I don't think the RW pundits will be able to spin enough to overcome the factor of the Internet and places like DU... It's quite historic.
