The DNC is once again emailing supporters, urging them to spam web site polls and media email boxes to make it seem as if John Edwards won tonight’s debate. Jim Geraghty has an interesting idea.

Unsurprisingly, the DNC is at it again, sending e-mails to supporters, urging them to flood online polls, e-mailboxes, and newspaper editors with messages declaring Edwards the winner of tonight’s debate.

If the past is any example, these geniuses have already begun pelting papers and web sites with this spin-spam. One Kerry Spot reader came up with an interesting jujitsu counter-move: Nothing. Let the DNC win the online polls and the e-mail wars.

What will happen when MSNBC or CNN go to discuss the instant results of their online poll… and learn that 99 percent of viewers thought Edwards won?

The Washington Post and even Richard Roeper reacted skeptically when they recieved hundreds of e-mails, gushing about Kerry’s stirring victory, before the debate was over.

A truly nefarious saboteur might start sending those e-mails to the DNC’s mailing list now.

Something like, “Edwards beat Cheney in the greatestest super-duper debate rout EVER! Kerry’s victory is assured! Finally, on that glorious day, the Democratic Party will have its revenge, and we can finally round up those no-good evil Republicans and conservatives, and force them into re-education camps, and do away with those who oppose the NEW ORDER…”

But that would be wrong. And I wouldn’t do that.
