Washington Post ^ | 9/26/08 | Chris Cillizza

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 an astute reader spotted next to this piece in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal this morning.

"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."....

As if the MSM hasn’t already decided that “Obambi far exceeded expectations” during the debate.

Well given that the MSM’s expectations for the annointed one are exactly zero, shouldn’t be too hard to beat.

This is clearly a CAMPAIGN AD. How is this any different that Obama co-opting the seal of the POTUS as his emblem on the front of the podium?

Wait! I know! McCain is just trying to ORGANIZE the Republican COMMUNITY. He’s being a community organizer, which to the Obama camp, justifies EVERYTHING!!

***”Obambi far exceeded expectations”***

I was just reading your comment, when on Fox they were running the film of obama and mccain heading through the airports to their planes.....obama was joking and laughing.......McCain was somber and serious.......they went to Washington for this crisis........obama IS a joke. HE messed up the meeting last night. Hardly presidential. If he can’t take this serious and isn’t up to the challange.......what is so dang funny about it?

Make his say "Present" instead of participation. If fits better.

Of course, the Washington Post has already written their article declaring Obama the winner of tonight’s debate, but they are going to try and hold off publishing it until shortly after the debate is over.

Heck, why keep score at all? After all, it just serves to lower the self-esteem of the loser.
