Who showed up last night? The supplemental McShame?

I had this odd thought before going to bed last night. For some reason, I started thinking "John McCain was on something last night." Then this morning a reader emailed me, suggesting the same thing. So I called Joe.

Joe pointed me this morning to a NY Daily News article claiming that McCain was taking "supplements" before the first debate to enhance his memory and energy:
Campaign reps for Sen. John McCain obtained an herbal supplement touted to enhance memory and keep energy levels up for the candidate before his joust with Sen. Barack Obama, a source tells us. Four-time Super Bowl champ Bill Romanowski, whose company Nutrition53 produces the capsule Neuro1, said: "I won't confirm or deny that Sen. McCain is using our product, but it's phenomenal for any person with stress and an overwhelming travel schedule."

And in fact, the Rocky Mountain News confirmed the story - Romo says, on the record, that McCain is taking the supplement:

Former Broncos bruiser Bill Romanowski wouldn't dish to the New York Daily News earlier this week when the newspaper reported that Republican presidential candidate John McCain was taking Romo's Neuro1 herbal supplement to keep his memory sharp and his energy levels up. But the former linebacker talked to me.

"John McCain is taking my Neuro1 to stay sharp," Romo told me Thursday. "He was really sharp for the debate (against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama) last week. For anyone with that level of stress and that travel schedule (Neuro1) is really helpful."

3. I also thought he was on something.

But I doubt it was just a nutritional supplement.
