Democracy in Action
From The New York Times Letters page, Thursday, October 7:
To the Editor:
The debate on Tuesday was really a debate between substance and fluff.
...
If you enjoy fluff, John Edwards won. But if you want substance and a clear understanding of the issues, Dick Cheney won by a landslide.

From a mass email from Bush Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman, received Wednesday, October 6, 6:13 am:
Dear Guy,
Edwards failed as a credible advocate for John Kerry�last night�and Dick Cheney proved that substance will always trump spin.
...
Write letters to the editors of your local papers.
...
Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman
P.S.� Even as one of the nation's best trial lawyers, John Edwards failed as a credible advocate for John Kerry�last night�and Dick Cheney proved that substance will always trump spin...
Sorry Jason, but we checked - if you live in University Place, Washington, your local paper is actually the Seattle Times Tacoma News Tribune. You've made this mistake before, let's not do it again.
(And dude, getting a perfect Math League score ain't much of a chick magnet.)
