Here's why I can't watch the early spin. They are on another planet. C-SpanII went to MSNBC and Chris Matthews who immediately proclaimed Cheney the winner. What? Cheney was dour, insulting, arrogant and rigid in his misguided positions. He can't admit the Administration's mistakes. Or his own flip-flops.

There can be a fine line between experience and "set in your ways". Like I said last night, if Dick Gephardt was your father's Oldsmobile, Dick Cheney is your grandfather's model T.

I don't think voters will buy Cheney's shtick. Particularly younger ones.
