The people they're trying to reach now are undecided voters, the people who don't pay much attention to the pundits at all. The candidates got to talk tonight to undecided voters, over the heads of the media. Many more people watched the debate, IMHO, than will hang on what bloviating heads on CNN and FOX say tomorrow. Isn't the only thing that really matters the performance of the candidates, and not the post-debate spin?

Because if the press is positive, it results in momentum, which reinvigorates the candidate. Kerry has been down for weeks and has lost some energy and confidence. This, I think, will bring him back to life.
