Terry McAuliffe is one desperate fellow. The DNC even has what almost could be considered a form letter to send to the media on the their site. Not to mention he sounds like a raving lunatic.
Look for lots of letters to the editor from people who claimed President Bush in the first debate didn\'t offer a plan to fix the mess in Iraq, dodged tough questions on Iraq and failed to level with voters. They all got their talking points from Terry. :rolleyes:
They have resorted to internet chain letters

A message from Terry McAuliffe
Hoping to bridge the "enthusiasm gap" referred to below by Rocket Man, and seeking to prevent President Bush from "stealing the debate," DNC head Terry McAuliffe has sent the following message to his troops:
Tonight, don\'t let George Bush\'s henchmen steal another victory. We need your online help immediately after the debate, so save this email, print it out, and have it ready with you as you watch the first Presidential debate tonight.
We all know what happened in 2000. Al Gore won the first debate on the issues, but Republicans stole the post-debate spin. We are not going to let that happen again, and you will play a big role.
Immediately after the debate, we need you to do three things: vote in online polls, write a letter to the editor, and call in to talk radio programs. Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the difference.
Vote
National and local news organizations will be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers\' opinions. Look for online polls at these national news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:
ABC News:
http://www.abcnews.com/CBS News:
http://www.cbsnews.com/CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/Fox News:
http://www.foxnews.com/MSNBC:
http://www.msnbc.com/USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV stations for online polls. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes immediately following the debate.
Write
Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If you feel John Kerry commanded the debate and had a clear plan for fixing the mess in Iraq, put it in your letter. If you feel George Bush dodged tough questions on Iraq and didn\'t level with voters, put it in your letter.

Thank you,
Terry McAuliffe
Chairman
PS: Make sure to forward this email to at least 10 other people who will be watching the debate. Also, give printed out copies to your friends, family members, coworkers and neighbors and get them involved.
