[kpete]

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 in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal this morning.

SCREEN SHOT:



an astute reader spotted next to this piece http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122238667352477103.html

"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."

1. It's hard to spin expactations with ads like this, isn't it? nt

[trueblue2007]

7. That is a stupid ad....it isn't a news article

[msallied]

2. I feel like I'm in an Orwell book. Jesus.

[codjh9]

5. EXACTLY what I was thinking - I was going to say that's the most 1984-ish thing

I've seen in this whole crazy election.

[truthisfreedom]

3. Those losers just keep stepping in it and stepping in it. It's as if they WANT Obama to win!

Man, how can you be so stupid?

[FatDave]

22. Well...

Would you want to inherit this mess?

[truthisfreedom]

24. I know Obama's up for it. I wouldn't touch it with a $700 Billion dollar pole.

[judasdisney]

36. It's as if ... the bailout is a trap? The crises are intentional? The goal is Neofeudalism?

The goal is a Denial-Of-Service attack on democracy?

The goal is to reverse and eliminate all remnants of the New Deal?

The goal is Shock Doctrine radicalism?

B-b-b-but th-that's c-c-c- c-c- c-conspiracy!

[bunnies]

4. Geezus.

I dont even know *what* to say.

[Essene]

6. n/m i stand corrected, that's from washington post o.0

[timber84]

8. Your kidding right?

[Essene]

9. i saw that ad posted on another thread, called it bogus. didnt see this washington post article...

[timber84]

12. Kpete is one of the most respected posters here whose diligence

often has them being the "first to know" on many many breaking news topics. I do not DOUBt anything Kpete posts.

[kpete]

15. I appreciate your comment very much

but I must say, I often DOUBT myself,

Thanks though for your encouragement.

I think Murdoch is going to be dissappointed tonight and in the following weeks.

I love making fools of all of them, if and when I can.

peace, kp

23. Hey, kpete, K&R

:hi: :yourock: :headbang: BTW, I sent one of your posts to Rachel Maddow the other day and she used it (the one from rollcall)!

Do you think this ad was wishful thinking or an early release error by the people "fixing" the election? Inquiring minds want to know!:evilgrin:

[Cosmic Charlie]

10. Dewey Defeats Truman!!!

[evlbstrd]

11. Dewey Defeats Truman!

[azmouse]

13. McHoover has the creepiest freaking smile I've ever seen.

:scared:

[FloridaGrl]

14. Debate?

Umm What's today? Is it Saturday already? Darn I cannot believe I slept through the damn debates.

[mikelgb]

16. stunning

[Marrah_G]

17. Ummmm.......that campaign is seriously imploding.

[Barack_America]

18. So is his campaign no longer "suspended"?

They really have to stop being so incompetent. Sooner or later I really am going to pee myself.

:rofl:

[City Lights]

19. Ick. What a creepy photo.

:scared:

Waste of money too. :rofl: Oh well, John. We're expecting great things from you tonight!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. What's next? Tomorrow McCain wins the election?

[spanone]

21. rupert murdoch owns the wsj....it's just another of his 'rags' completely unreliable

[Bleacher Creature]

25. This is a MCCAIN ad -- and it's another example of stunning incompetence.

I assume that they wanted the ad released right after the debate. As usual, FAIL.

[musicblind]

26. I really hope the news media picks up on this story and FUCKING RUNS WITH IT!

arrogance


NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS NOW OBVIOUS HE HAD ALWAYS PLANNED TO ATTEND THE DEBATES.

[progressoid]

27. Was it an ad for Cialis?

[Bigleaf]

28. Please send this to Keith for his pre-debate show.

[BlueIdaho]

29. What a concept!

If you can't get the facts to fit your campaign narrative- just buy ads that look like news and lie your ass off!

How very McCain/Palin of them.

[ContinentalOp]

30. LOL! I bet that whoever "accidentally" pushed that ad live is an Obama supporter.

It makes the McCain campaign look soooo stupid.

[last_texas_dem]

31. Good on ya, John!

It's good to see you taking a well-earned break from suspending your campaign for the good of the nation's economy in order to score a preemptive victory in tonight's debate!

[mile18blister]

32. You're not thinking like a Repug.

It doesn't say what debate, does it? That's how they'll spin it.

[Laelth]

33. As usual, Republicans presume to tell the American people what to think.

More brainwashing. They're not even subtle any more.

-Laelth

[vanderBeth]

34. What a Dewey moment.

[and-justice-for-all]

35. Ahh, its just ad space they bought...

and it is completely untrue. It says at the bottom who paid for that ad...McFalin Campaign did.
