spin

I am obsessed with this article. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be humorous, in fact, I'm pretty sure there's no way it can be, but it is written in such a deadpan way and the things the candidates say are so typical that I thought I was reading The Onion for a second. Anyway, it's a study in spin, and if you're tired of hearing about the primaries already and the games everyone is playing, this is the perfect cure.

No way! It must be an Onion article some fact-checker let drift by. Perhaps my body temperature elevated to 101.5 has something to do with the almost hallucinatory message the piece is sending.

I've pretty much decided that it has to be fake, but i'm thrown off by the fact that it's published on the New York Times website and there's no indication that it is fake.

I just felt your obsession with this thing infect me. However, 213 timed writing assignments are waiting for me on the dining room table. Ninth grade prose is the best.
