10. Remember how Al Gore wiped the floor with Dubya in the debates and changed history?

Me neither.

He did, but you'd never know it if you were listening to the analysis.

In the same way, when I was still naive, after I saw Kerry debate Bush the first time, I told a close friend that it was such an utter debacle for Bush that I was convinced that he would find a way to avoid subsequent debates. The prospect of his facing Kerry an additional time was unthinkable to me.

I thought I was pretty streetwise and media-savvy at the time. Little did I know.

In the unlikely event that Bachmann is named as the GOP VP candidate, you can count on the Corporate Media to shamelessly spin things on her behalf.
