You folks do realize, don''t you, that each candidate would have to have an advertisement ready for print ahead of time, to satisfy the press (actual printing) requirements. It won''t actually appear until tomorrow. (It was almost certainly leaked.) And what candidate is not going to toot their own horn? I would expect the same from the Obama camp. Why not? It''a campaign! They are going to jump up and down and squeal ''Me, me, me!!''

Holly, you''re probably right, but I still need that drink! Hmmmm . . . maybe I can invite myself over to Elle''s tonight for her drinking debate party! LOL!

Yes, I agree, that both will say it, (see my post above!) but McCain''s campaign declared themselves the winner BEFORE the debate took place.

Somebody''s getting fired...

No, No; I mean that each of the candidates will say they''ve won the debate (it is subjective after all), and if both campaign managers are doing their jobs, they will have prepared and submitted their ads already to the newspapers. The ''ad'' in question is for The Washington Post; they are a widely circulated morning paper with a pretty early deadline for everything but breaking front page stories, ''cause they can''t wait until the last minute to ''go to press'' (print the paper). I know this stuff because the DH is a newspaper editor. So, the ad may say "I won the debate!", but it''s just an ad that is waiting in the wings for the morning paper. I would expect Obama''s manager to have something (self-congratulatory) ready as well. The campaign managers are going to do everything they can to positive spin their guy, aren''t they? That''s really all this is.

I agree Holly (and you know, I am the republican voice of reason

). That''s exactly what it is. In the age of Internet news, I think we can sometimes forget that papers need to be PRINTED.

Doesn''t mean that people can''t spin it, but c''mon...there are hats made for Superbowl teams stating their team as the winner...it doesn''t mean that they think they already won...they just want to prepare the hats for when they do win!

Only this WASN'T a PRINTED version. It was the ONLINE version from this MORNING! Read the article below:

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."

Ohhh, all of it sounds good! I do love white Russians, but the lipstick cocktails sound great too!

I also need to hit the liquor store . . . I only have two sad little wine coolers in the fridge!

Perfect! OK, for the VP debate, you can either choose from lipstick cocktails, white or black russians, and for food, we will start off with pigs in a blanket.
