for a blow (he was twitching his nose like crazy), I took the idea
that the Republicans were in a flurry of commentary during the debate
as just showing how they couldn't let Bush speak for himself and
instead needed to bolster his lackluster debating with up to the
minute spin.

Apparently, the Republican Party started responding to Kerry on their website something like 7 seconds into Kerry's comments and updated the site over 40 times during the debate. Conversely the Democrats didn't update their site until after 20 minutes into the debate and then only updated their site one more time during the debate.

It strikes me that they were afraid of Kerry and where trying to soften the blows he was landing on Bush. If they where responding within seven seconds they where prepared to do so well beforehand. There is no way an ad-hoc effort could have been organized in about 1/10 of a minute.
