Speaking of "what's the point":

• Dear Mr. Slave:
  
  We need your help one last time. So far the debates have been two clear wins for John Kerry. And your actions after the debate have been absolutely crucial in keeping the Republican spin machine in check.
  
  Tonight is the final debate between John Kerry and George W. Bush, the one where the post-debate spin will solidify and last until Election Day. If you have not taken action before, now is the time to do it!
  
  There are four critical things you can do to help beat the Republican spin machine after tonight's final debate.
  
  1. Forward this email to family, coworkers, and friends.
  2. Vote in online polls.
  3. Write a letter to the editor.
  4. Call radio and television stations.
