This K/E campaign email came through just after last night’s debate:

Dear Supporter,

A few minutes ago, the third and final presidential debate came to a close. Once again, I am about to head over to the “spin room,” and once again I am going to have the chance to talk about a victory for John Kerry.

During these debates, John Kerry has left no doubt that he has the strength and character we need in a commander in chief. He has shown the American people his command of the facts, steady demeanor, and well reasoned arguments. He offered hope and optimism, and showed that he will fight for middle class families.

The Bush campaign has tried to lower the bar for each debate. But the bar can only go so low.

The bottom line is, when it comes to the concerns of the middle class, George Bush just doesn’t get it — doesn’t know how to talk about it — and has no way to fix it. While he offered nothing but more of the same tired rhetoric — John Kerry presented real solutions to real problems. That’s the reason why John Kerry won and George Bush lost — lowered expectations and spin from the Bush campaign will not change this.

Tonight George Bush’s denials further damaged his credibility. He denied we have problems with immigration, No Child Left Behind, equal pay for women and the minimum wage. Bush pretends our problems don’t exist, and he won’t level with the American people.

Again, we need your help to keep the Republican spin machine in check. After three debates you know what you need to do — let’s go out there and do it.
