McCain accidentally releases ad early claiming he won debate.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2008/09/mccain_wins_debate.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."

That should throw a bit of a monkey wrench into the McCain spin machine.

2. That's no accident. Most of their base is stupid and probably
thinks they already had the debate.

3. It's easy to lie about the future
when all you do is lie.

5. WTH?
What is going on? To watch this campaign go off the rails like this is insanity. Or it is planned. I have to re-adjust my tinfoil hat.

8. that's how I feel.
It's gotta be a trap and we're not seeing the bigger picture. Or something. You have to intend to be this stupid.

6. W-T-F?
That's probably the lamest, most petty, idiotic shit I've ever seen a campaign shell out money for. Even worse to have it leak out early. Wow! :rofl:

7. McCain obviously now never intended to miss the debate
he just intended to create some kind of fake crisis.

13. Not only that but Salter(?) of his campaign recently
put out a statement that McCain did not decide to go until a few hours before getting on the flight - which is now an obvious lie. They actually never suspended the campaign.
