7. Sorry, but that's glib, highschool-football-coach BS
Every DUer could email every mediawhore every day, and there's no way the media will change by november 2.

There are only 2 ways we can ever hope to realign the coverage a point or two toward balance:

1) Our spokespeople and surrogates must relentelssly call the whores on their bias on air in real time. Make them defend why they have two rethugs and one dem on in front of their viewers. Make them defend the Gallop Poll samples on air. Make them explain why they're repeating rethug talking points word for word.

Guess what, if Judy knows she's going to be called on repeating RNC points by a dem holding a copy of the RNC points, she'll probably stop. If Timmy knows his dem gues is going to call him on taking quotes out of context (remember Clark handing Russert a copy of Clark's article Timmy quoted out of context) he'll make sure he quotes accurately.

2) As soon as they are booked on a show, our surrogates have to get a coppy of OUR points and be prepared hit them no matter what the question is, no matter what the rethug guest says, no matter if Chris Matthews tries to interrupt. Roley Poley does two or three reports a day. If we have 6 surrogates repeat our message on eight shows, guess whose words people will remember?

I'll just say it: If we do the above, we can win. If we don't, we'll lose.
