early reviews in from the obama camp.
The early take on the debate that just ended . . .
Washington Post:
Biden is on point: In each of the first three questions he banged on McCain. Keep your eye on the fruit...
MSNBC First Read:
Biden is hitting his stride on foreign policy. His nuance and directness on this subject is what made him so good in those Democratic primary debates.
TIME:
[Donna] Shalala on Biden’s health care answer: “Nailed it.” Women in this room erupted in cheers. Who knew there were so many Democratic CEOs?
FROM DAVID “FLUFF” campaign chair and head kool-aid mixer
“Joe Biden won a clear victory tonight because he made a passionate case for change from the disastrous economic and foreign policies of the last eight years, and Sarah Palin defended them. While Governor Palin blindly supports John McCain’s plan for more of the same policies that have devastated Main Street and let Wall Street run wild, Joe Biden spoke clearly and strongly about Barack Obama’s plan for a tax cut for the middle class, health care that is affordable, and an end to the war in Iraq. Tonight, the American people saw why Barack Obama chose Joe Biden, a statesman from Scranton who clearly has the experience and knowledge to be a great Vice President,” said Obama-Biden campaign manager David Plouffe.
The comment I kept hearing from the media spin-meisters, was that she won but her performance “won’t affect the trajectory of the race.”
Also there was the linne “she a talented communicator, but...” and then they say something dismissive.
Talking points on how to spin the win I guess.
I’m not buying it. Most people connected with her and except for the uber-partisans, I think most people were pulling for her. I love it when a ‘rat plan backfires.
When I heard MSNBC commentators say, “This won’t matter in a couple days.” I knew Palin had scored.
