Casey v. Santorum -- the Campaign's spin
Yep. This is worth it's own separate story too.
Here is the Casey Campaign website's first spin piece.
Santorum's offical campaign website already has more than one statement.
This spin coverage is hilarious:
Democratic and Republican campaign committees, however, had no qualms declaring the victor, even before they could have watched the entire debate on television.“IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE: CASEY BEATS SANTORUM IN MEET THE PRESS DEBATE,” the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee boasted in a statement, asserting that Santorum “looking unhinged.”
“Casey Jr. Overwhelmed In Debate,” countered their rivals at the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Santorum’s team also didn’t wait for the debate to end to start spinning. During a commercial break, Brabender said he was confused and questioned reporters about whether Casey actually answered host Tim Russert’s question about whether he would still vote for the Iraq war. Casey’s answer was no, based on what is now known about the lack of a threat that Iraq posed at the start of the war.
But Brabender and Santorum spokesman Robert Traynham didn’t stop there.
They accused Casey of not offering any specifics, continuing “slash and burn politics” and even “interrupting Sen. Santorum several times."
At this point, Casey spokesman Larry Smar did what else … he interrupted to interject that Casey had in fact offered a multi-part plan
I'm sure there is much more to be done with this kind of thread but I'm out of time for now.
Use the comments if you find links to more spin coming directly from the campaigns, including their press releases websites, etc.
