In the first Gore/Bush debate in 2000, as we know, viewers who actually watched the debate thought Gore won — but by the time the spinners were finished, and the media coverage was done obsessing over Gore’s sighing reactions to his opponent, the consensus was that Bush had prevailed.
I dunno, I just finished watching George Bush sigh at least a half dozen times — as well as grimace, pout and otherwise express his exasperation at John Kerry’s inexplicable failure to pontificate or gasbag beyond the 2-minute limit Bush’s handlers had insisted upon.
Will Bush get called on it? Or is sighing only culpable when it’s done by Democrats?
