I wrote a pre-debate reaction today over at SmartNow.

I just caught an article by Joe Klien at Time.com. He wins my quote of the day:

I’m of two minds about how to deal with the McCain campaign’s further descent into ugliness. Their strategy is simple: you throw crap against a wall and then giggle as the media try to analyze the putresence in a way that conveys a sense of balance: “Well, it is bull-pucky, but the splatter pattern is interesting…” which, of course, only serves to get your perverse message out.

So true, Joe. So true.
