Kerry Team Set for Instant Response

[Dickie Flatt]

Armed with over 170 pages of Bush rebuttals, the Kerry-Edwards campaign is set to instantly respond through a variety of mediums to George Bush's misleading statements and fantasyland rhetoric in this evening's debate, the Kerry-Edwards rapid response team announced Thursday.

Response began before the debate with Wednesday's PDB. Not the long awaited President's Daily Briefing, this Prebuttal Debate Briefing (http://www.johnkerry.com/features/debate_pdb.html) cleverly matched up the president's rhetoric with reality and will be followed up today by the new DVD titled BUSH V. REALITY (available after 7:30 PM at http://www.democrats.org/debates/mediacenter.htm) and a prebuttal debate packet (available on site.)

Making a major grassroots media push, the campaign will arm its 2 million supporters and Media Corps with debate talking points and rapid response activities they can participate in, including media outlets to contact and addresses for letters-to- the-editor.

During the debate, johnkerry.com will be turned into a virtual war room, with the campaign's rapid response center updated in real time. Bloggers, already given a pre-debate briefing by campaign officials Wednesday, will receive special attention throughout the night with dedicated staffers providing them with rebuttals and fact checks.

9. Raise your effectiveness!

Do what any self respecting geek would do when they want to push their point of view....use multiple usernames!

Let's say you are on Windows XP, and you have a user for your wife's version of the PC and one for yours.

Create a couple more, and you will be able to vote multiple times because each user will have the ability to store their own cookies. Many of the polls do not asign identification to a vote coming from a particilar IP address, but rather will drop a cookie in your PC that says "you already voted"

Multiple users, multiple votes...but then again that is a freeper kind of thing to do...I have five computers at home; I havn't decided how many i will have running.

10. The press has already decided the election (in their own minds)

For the past few weeks it has hardly mattered what Kerry or any of his campaign supporters have had to say on any of the networks or cable news channels, they've allowed the repugs cart blanch to spin, accepting their insane double-speak without hardly batting an eye since their convention, and never failing to mention Kerry is behind in all the polls and that most Americans believe Dubya is the "stronger, steady... blah blah blah" when it comes to handling the war in Iraq. It's as if they're all imbedded with the RNC...
