After tonight’s Democratic debate in Orangeburg, SC another debate begins.
The Spin Room, or Spin Alley, will be populated by the best hacks each campaign can muster to make sure reporters cover the story in the best possible light (Jon Stewart always has fun with this (Ctrl-F for Spin Alley)). They’ll also do the best they can to cover for any screw ups.
I was thinking about it today and I wonder if this really is even necessary anymore. Wouldn’t a reporter be just as likely to check out a blog post a candidate did after the debate?
Instead of spinning the reporters on-site, maybe instead post a diary on a few popular blogs and let the dicussion begin. The whole point of is to make sure the media gets your take on the debate. Why not just post it?
Not Paul: Edwards did exactly that.
