McOops Wins Debate!

According to a McCain ad running on the WSJ’s website today, hours before the debate even began.

Maybe what McCain meant when he claimed that he was going to “suspend his campaign” was “I’m going to suspend the Time-Space continuum” thereby permitting himself to view the results of the debate in advance. Pretty heady stuff for Mr. World Saver.

This Johnny McStraighttalk is a volatile guy. Yesterday, he wasn’t going to the debate, but pledged to stay in Washington until bipartisan legislation addressing financial failures was passed. No deal was reached, and McCain proved at best useless in reaching a consensus between the parties, and at worst injecting his political ambition into the negotiations contributed to a total breakdown after a deal had reportedly nearly been reached.

Now, he’s not only going to Mississippi without accomplishing a fucking thing in Washington and without “suspending” his campaign (despite his vows to the contrary), he’s also declaring victory in advance, like some kind of Conjurer or Crystal Ball Gazer.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that McCain will proclaim himself the winner tonight, no matter how indifferently he performs. More, he’ll run an ad that looks exactly like the one above! Then maybe he’ll “suspend” his campaign again, and go on 4 or 5 talk shows and talk about what a piker Obama is.
