"Take Action
"Spread the Word that John Kerry Commanded the Debate

"Write a Letter to the Editor
"To look up your local newspapers, please enter your ZIP code below:..."
For those of us who actually saw the debate and opt not to be instructed by pre-disposed and galvanised talking heads on how to think the result was, obviously, a wash.
Or else won by the candidate who you happen to support, as underlined by the World Net Daily Poll which shows that only 12% of respondents thought Kerry won, as opposed to 55% who thought Bush won and 25% who called it a tie.
