Moose Munch!!
J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with All Eight Tentacles — "McCain has never asked me to check my opinions at the door!" Joe Biden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgDHKzzfU6Y: Past is prologue, Gwen. The issue is how different is John McCain's policy going to be than George Bush's? I haven't heard anything yet. I haven't heard how his policy is going to be different on Iran than George Bush's. I haven't heard how his policy will be different with Israel than George Bush's, I haven't heard how his policy on Afghanistan will be different than George Bush's, I haven't heard how his policy in Pakistan will be different than George Bush's. It may be, but so far, it is the same as George Bush's, and ...

Campaign 08: A Spicier Debate
The Nation: Top Stories — Thursday's vice presidential debate was a serious and substantive affair. With superb moderating by Gwen Ifill, the conversation stuck to policy-driven sparring, but the footage is already taking a different shape on YouTube.

Biden Won, Because He Made Forceful Case Against McCain
TPM Election Central — Many people will analyze this debate by asking whether Sarah Palin outdid her previous disastrous interview performances, and hence proved she just might have the mettle to be a Vice President, after all. That's not a wholly irrelevant question. But a better way to decide who "won" tonight is this: Which Veep candidate most forcefully made the case against the opposing presidential candidate? By that standard, the winner by that measure was unquestionably Joe Biden. He made a far stronger case against John McCain than Sarah Palin did against Barack Obama. It wasn't even close. Tellingly, Biden was the first to target the other ticket's ...

Biden: McCain Is Bush
Daily Kos — CNN Focus Group Soledad O'Brien 10:45 PM: "It's been absolutely fascinating to see what resonated and what did not and what they take away from this evening. So let's begin, folks if we can, 32 people, roughly again, Wolf, broken down, registered Independents, registered Democrats, registered Republicans, so basically evenly... Show of hands, who do you think won the debate? If you think Joe Biden won the debate, raise your hand please. That looks overwhelming.
