Drexel's Digital Divide - Post Debate Spin

We're becoming accustomed to candidate web page's (re)interpretation of debates (A favorite of mine was Dodd's "Talk Clock" exposing disparate speaking times) but the practice seems to have stepped up a notch.

The Drexel Debate was not Hillary's best effort. After dominating the prior encounters Clinton's smooth sailing ran aground and fairly received a severe media lashing. Even FactCheck.org documented, at length, three questionable "bobs and weaves."

What is a well heeled campaign to do? Simple, fight back by extending the post-debate spin, often using video interpretations that infiltrate campaign coverage.
