'Toon of the Day 2: Spin, Baby, Spin!

M2RB:   The Black-Eyed Peas

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

The results of the Wisconsin Recall, as seen through the eyes of the White House, MSNBC, Howard Dean, Richard Trumka, Daily Kooks, HP, the NYT, Eugene Robinson, EJ Dionne, NPR, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.:

"We look at Wisconsin as a win."

- Howard Dean

That's OK.  We look at you as a delusional idiot.  Aaaarrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!

“Last night’s results were not what we had hoped for, but this was not the end of the story but rather the beginning.”

- Richard Trumka

Nah, it was the beginning of the end for PEUs, but we realise that you have to spin like a whirling dervish as if your cushy lifestyle depended on it....oh, wait, it does.

"The President supported and stood by Tom Barrett, but I certainly wouldn't read much into yesterday's result beyond its effect on who's occupying the governor's seat in Wisconsin. I certainly read in some of the analysis by you and your colleagues that even among the electorate that voted yesterday in Wisconsin, voters substantially approved of the President's positions when it comes to who they felt had the best vision for protecting and securing the middle class, and we certainly think -- I certainly think that the President's message about the steps we need to take to grow the economy and create jobs will resonate in Wisconsin."

- Jay Carney

If you want to rely on exit polls that were off by 7 points, have at it... Just keep in mind that more Republicans voted than Democrats in this bastion of Progressivism and the birthplace of public sector unions.  18-25 year-olds voted for Scott Walker, not Tom Barrett.  When you add in 16-29 year-olds, you have only 5% voting for Barrett...down from a 10 point advantage 2 years ago.

Oh, and don't forget that your guy is now down 3 points in Wisconsin....

"While tonight's outcome was not what we had hoped for – no one can dispute the strong message sent to Governor Walker."

-  Tripp Wellde, Obama Wisconsin campaign director

Yeah, and that message said, "We like what you're doing.  Keep it up!"
