Campaign Spin

The campaign spin came fast and furious (in some casebefore the debate began). I think Cheney won, but not in overwhelming fashion. At least it was a real debate with two candidates slugging it out face to face. David Frum saw it a bit differently:

OK just caught debate rerun on CNN. What can one say about John Edwards' performance? ... It would all have been very impressive--if Cheney's scalpel had not so swiftly and mercilessly sliced Edwards' living liver out of his body, impaled it quivering on a stick, and paraded it before Edwards' soulful eyes before the poor man expired.

The way the Donkey's portray Cheney he'd probably eat it with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.
