Results vs. Spin Posted by Michael Cohen

Ok, McCain won, but if you listened to the spin on NBC you'd think the Mittster won.

All the talking heads noted that McCain gave a lackluster speech that seemed to meander -- and whose idea was it for him to read his acceptance speech. It's entirely possible that his speech performance could be the press narrative. On the other hand, Romney seemed relaxed and gregarious in his speech. I know he lost, but I don't think it's terminal. At the very least he's not giving up yet. As usual, the Huckster was quite good in his speech.

As for why the Dems are so tight . . . it's all about the tears.

No, it's not all about the tears. She won in NH with voters who are concerned about the economy and with union voters. It's just one state, but in this one state, people voted for substance over vague notions of "hope."
