Post-Debate Spin, Part III
Posted by Shadi Hamid

They discuss McCain's badassness. He said that he'd follow Bin Laden "to the gates of Hell."

For his part, Romney informed us that Bin Laden "will die."

Chris Matthews is on now. I didn't think he did a great job, but whatever. Wasn't he an aide for Tip O'Neill? Says it was a competition to see who was toughest on terrorism, and who can slash more taxes. However, they were "absolutely useless" on the issue of Scooter Libby. Not a single person "said thumbs-down on this guy."

Why isn't Olbermann skewering the Republicans? Is he trying to be "objective"? Back to Scarborough, who is talking to Jim Gilmore, who we are led to believe was the former governor of VA. Says he's been "picking up momentum" and assures Scarb that "we're gonna come through." He's not gonna "flip and flop" either.

Scarb asks Gilmore about Guiliani. JG doesn't "think Guiliani asserts himself as a conservative." Randomly brings up Hillary Clinton. Then they move to Katrina. Stock answer. Mentions "lunatic gunman."

Scarb notes that McCain said the "gates of Hell" thing with a smile. That's kind of scary. Happy warrior. McCain also managed to mention Joe Lieberman's full name three times in the span of three seconds, when asked if what Democrat he'd appoint to a cabinet position. That must have made JL all fuzzy inside.
