Keep the focus on the Gibson smack-down (email project)

subject line: What a wild debate! (Was that Gibson encounter a first?)

Hi, This second Bush-Kerry debate was pretty good--closer than the first one. I think Kerry won on points, but Bush improved his arguments. Mostly though, it was really weird when President Bush was yelling at Charlie Gibson.

(Just my two cents)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
XXXXX XXXXXXXX

I sent this short and seemingly inane email to the email addresses below. (Bcc'd of course. not Cc'ed!)

Please write your own short non-partisan sounding email that somehow manages to mention the Bush-Gibson confrontation as the key moment. Keep in mind that the SUBJECT LINE may well be all anyone reads. The idea is to help spread the idea that the Gibson-Bush confrontation was the defining moment for everyday people.

Just some word suggestions. I sent one to my local media last night, thanks for that big list. I used it to send another email this morning. Use BCC so people don't see every email address you sent it to. And the most important part really is keeping that subject line in front of the media anyway.
