McCain wins the Presidental Debates (hours before they staretd)

[igorlord]

It sure looks like McCain wins the Presidental Debates by merelly agreeing to show up. :)

"McCain Win Debate!" ad was already up on Wall Street Journal site in early afternoon!
(Did anyone mention the political loyalties of the Wall Street Journal's new owner?)

You fail to mention the fact that it's not WSJ content, but rather an ad. Critical difference there.

I meant to mention that it is an Ad. I'll fix this.

As for WSJ layalties, it takes a thingie to ACCEPT an ad like that even before the debates are started (and then incompetence to screw up and show that ad too early).

I'm not going to debate loyalties, but they have nothing to do with this.

Do you really think that if they want this ad to show up right after the debate they are going to wait until it finishes to submit it? Of course things like there are prepped ahead of time and just wait for the final go/no-go. Slip ups like this happen with obits periodically.

I'd expect them to pay for an ad space and then upload an ad that actually reflects reality. Otherwise, it truly reminds one of that Chinese rocket launch episode.

Oh, mistakes so happen. Remember this - http://www.compromat.ru/main/lenta_ru/ppskn.htm?

I unerstand. But I think it shows something to have the guts before the debates to prepare such an ad to run after the debates.

It's like that Chinese translation of the "in-orbit" conversation between their astonauts ... before the rocket left the launchpad! The Oops is not in something making a mistake to put that on TV a bit too early, but in someone shooting that fakery and preparing to decieve the viewers.
