The Washington Post reports McCan’t-make-it has become McCan-be-there-afterall.
Sen. John McCain announced in a statement that he is resuming his campaign and will travel to Oxford, Miss., this afternoon to face Sen. Barack Obama at 9 p.m. EST.
In the statement, the McCain campaign said that there had been “significant progress” this morning toward a deal on a financial sector bailout, including the return of House Republicans to negotiations.
Must have been some kind of progress – McCain has ad in the Wall Street Journal claiming victory!
The Post’s political blog reports this surprising news.
… 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.”
If you’re as busy and important as McCain, you just can’t afford to waste time waiting until after the debate to claim you’ve won!
Mighty nice of Obama to still come!
