Spin Watch - Watch for

Spin Watch - Watch for the meathead press to start spinning the fact that the Bush campaign raised four times as much as the Gore campaign during the 2000 Florida Recount, and for speech rationing (campaign finance reform) advocates to relentlessly pimp this as grounds for speech rationing.

The devil is in the details, of course, if you read the story: Bush's contributions came in bit lots, as opposed to Gore's larger contributions. He didn't need to disclose as fully as he has.

Leave aside the fact that he needed to - to counteract the almost universally negative media coverage.
