Scenes From The Spin Room

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — I don’t have much to add to Mike and Ari’s analyses…they pretty much nailed it. Neither candidate was particularly inspiring, but the lack of a decisive win for Sen. John McCain, once again, constitutes a loss.
The most exciting moment for me was watching Triumph the Insult Comic Dog scare the bajeezus out of a Newsweek reporter in the media filing center.
The real star of the evening: Joe the Plumber. McCain found an exploitable middle-class archetype with which to hammer Sen. Barack Obama, and he ran with it.
And ironically, it was McCain who made the first reference — aside from Bob Schieffer’s passing mention in his introduction — to the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging more than 700 points Wednesday, during the closing remarks.
But enough of that. I have pictures from the Spin Room!
