I'm sure there's no limit to the post-debate spin they've prepared. I've come up with ten comments I expect to hear, but I'm sure you probably have a few of your own that I've missed.
Expect Liebermanian comments like these from the simpering contingent:
10). Sure some call blowing chunks on the moderator a "gaffe," but his distance was very manly...
9). Not many candidates can look that presidential while hurling what looked like veal piccata, fried rice, broccoli, and what might have been fruit-laden Jello."
8). When he wasn't shouting, I was impressed with his calm demeanor -- even nodding off between questions but, like a skilled leader, almost always waking up in time not to have to ask the question to be repeated.
7). I think he made a real emotional connection with Mainstream America when he broke down crying and asked his wife for one of her pills. People got to see his human side.
6). The moderators were way out of line when they corrected his statement that we must never allow the militant government of Lower Crawdekistan to gain the technology to pasteurize milk. You can nitpick all you want, but if there really were such a country, you can bet they'd already have their spies in our dairies.
5). Obama never did get around to meeting McCain's challenge for a joint commitment to submit all presidential appointees to a sobriety test at some point during their 'swearing in' ceremony. I think people will interpret that as the sort of weakness you'd expect to find in such an exotic candidate.
4). I was moved to tears when he described how lucky we are to have our homes foreclosed on... How he always dreamed of something like that happening to him during his stay at the Hanoi Hilton, back when he was a POW fighting for the freedoms we all enjoy under strict FISA supervision -- as long as we haven't done anything that would require the government to torture us.
3). You could almost feel his confidence and command of the room grow after the break in the debate to empty his colostomy bag.
2). The whole foreign policy theme was turned on its ear when McCain announced that as President, he'd fire Vladamir Putin. You could really tell that Obama was taken by surprise and didn't know quite how to respond to that.
1). Mistaking the moderator for his bus driver could happen to anybody. What's impressive is how gracefully he handled the situation when the guy refused to give him a transfer, even though he had exact change.
