Joe Lockhart, who presumably should have better things to do right now, just sent me an e-mail:

• Dear [RT],
  
  Two presidential debates and two clear wins. John Kerry is going to be the next president of the United States, and more people know it now than just two short hours ago.
  
  Tonight, George Bush had another chance to make his case to the American people. Again he failed.
  
  Again, he showed that he is out of touch with reality on Iraq.
  Again, he offered no plan for jobs and no plan for cutting the cost of health care.
  Again, he pretended that our problems don't exist.
  Again, he refused to level with the American people.
  George Bush just doesn't get it, so he can't fix it.
  
  John Kerry held George Bush accountable for the failures of the last four years. He demonstrated the strength and character we need in a president. He made it clear he could lead as commander in chief.
  
  John Kerry offered real solutions to real problems. He told America the truth, and offered a plan for a fresh start on the economy, Iraq, and the war on terror. Simply put, he was presidential. Ironically, the president was not.
  
  Right now, I'm here on the front lines in St. Louis. Down the hall is what they call the "spin room." It is where Republican operatives are trying to put their best face on what was another clear victory for John Kerry. I've done this a few times before, and I can tell you firsthand that my job is a lot easier when our candidate has a big night like John Kerry did tonight.
  
  I know, and more importantly John Kerry knows, how hard YOU are going to work to make sure the Bush campaign doesn't spin this debate.
  
  Here is what you can do:
  
  1) Call into talk radio
