Has anyone dared wade into the Fox swamp this morning?

Just curious. It's great that WE saw/heard all these speeches, but what is Fox telling its minions? Are they hearing that the DNC was a total flop and couldn't match Ann Romney's fiery oratory, or Clint Eastwood's comedic stylings?

A little bit of strategic knowledge, perhaps. There is nothing wrong with knowing what the other side is thinking. I just can't bring myself to change the channel to Fox.

Bill Richardson is on at the moment. He is currently advocating bipartisanship.

I just wanted to see their glum faces after that barn burner. They were knocked on their asses and it took them a few minutes to get back into attack mode.

What they're interested in:

1. God doesn't appear in the DNC platform. Nor does it have a position on Jerusalem.

2. A Solyndra exec was at the DNC.

3. "The star" of the first night was Castro's daughter. Not FLOTUS, Castro himself, or Patrick.

4. Paul rAyn really wasn't lying, despite what the fact-checkers say

and more stuff like that.
