You have to give the Kerry camp this: they’ve been very effective, albeit with the cooperation of the press, in spinning the results of the first two debates to be a smashing victory for Kerry and a draw for Edwards. This is where the arrival of the Clinton people comes up big. They can’t and won’t make a difference in improving the quality of Kerry’s message, to the extent he even has any. But contentless spin, subject-changing and news cycle management are their expertise, and we’ve seen it in play.
