Post McCain Wins Debate

Although the fate of tonight's presidential debate in Mississippi remains very much up in the air, John McCain has apparently already won it -- if you believe an Internet ad an astute reader spotted next to this piece in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal this morning.

"McCain Wins Debate!" declares the ad which features a headshot of a smiling McCain with an American flag background. Another ad spotted by our eagle-eyed observer featured a quote from McCain campaign manager Rick Davis declaring: "McCain won the debate-- hands down."
McCain Wins Debate - The Fix



Perhaps McCain's new argument should be that he doesn't have to attend the debate cause he already won it!

You DO know McCain was in several primary debates and they can easily be used for future refereences, right?...

If I put up a story saying "The Red Sox Win the World Series!", would you wonder if I was talking about last year or would you think I have a crystal ball since we're not in the playoffs until next week?...

Oh yeah.
That must be why it says "Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008"...


And to think we all missed this huge hint on who his vice-presidential candidate was going to be back during the primaries...

I believe I DID use the term "future references"...

I can't believe you're even going to TRY to spin this as anything other than a huge "ooops"

I'm a little irked, but not surprised. It's getting as nasty as nasty is. I don't know if these two senators can remain civil with each other even after it is all over.
