"Let's Do the Time Warp Again!"

Well, I guess that McCain won the debate. I mean some of those responses were incredible. The one about creating a giant, protective bubble of love over the United States? Brilliant. Or how about the one where he said that he would take Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad out for ice cream so they could "hug their problems out"?

Confused? So were several other people when they stumbled across ads claiming that McCain won the debate-- despite the fact that it hasn't taken place yet. For the full story, see The Washington Post. Either he's taken his "maverick" status to a new level and actually gone through the trouble to travel through time so people don't even have to watch the debate, or someone made an error at McCain headquarters. Whoops.

Stupid campaign tactics and ads are getting obnoxious on both sides. I wish that for once, candidates could be clear and honest, and simply present their positions without trying to bring the other person down, or without trying to pull any big tricks. Unfortunately, I don't forsee anything like that in our future. But who knows, I could be wrong. Maybe I'll ask McCain if I can borrow his time machine.
