Four years ago we all got ready for the Kerry-Bush debates, having learned the lessons of 2000 that it's not who actually does better during the debate but whose campaign staff and sympathetic pundits do better spinning after the debate.
I got an email back from one of the Chicago Tribune's reporters the night of the first Kerry-Bush debate, asking what was up with all the emails he got and noting that we sank his battleship by cramming his inbox full of our own take on the debate.
We may need to do that again, given the sway that McCain's "Distraction First" campaign has been playing the game all season long.
So, just in case, here are media contact lists that I found in a quick search. If anyone knows of more recent lists, please link to them (or copy/paste them) in comments and I'll try to add them to this diary as updates.
