No need to watch the debate tonight.
No, John McCain hasn’t suddenly changed his mind (again). He still plans on attending the debate tonight in Mississippi. The thing is, though, he’s already won it.
I’m serious. The Internet told me so.
Apparently, banner ads featuring a headshot of McCain were spotted running on the Wall Street Journal website declaring, “McCain wins debate!” There was apparently another ad featuring, now illusive campaign manager, Rick Davis, stating, “McCain won the debate–hands down.” Here’s one of the banners:
And here’s the screenshot from WSJ.com.
In less than two weeks, he’s gone from stating that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, to expressing the seriousness of the crisis our nation’s economy is in, to suspending his campaign (which was never really suspended) and attempting to delay the debates, to traveling to D.C. to muck up what looked to be a bi-partisan bailout package, to declaring himself the victor of a debate that doesn’t take place for another 7 hours.
Maybe this is what’s been making McCain look so haggard lately. I hear time travel takes an enormous toll on your body.
