Political Tidbit of the Day

... OK, it was really published yesterday, but I got a sad chuckle out of it. Jim Rutenberg in a straight news piece in yesterday's NY Times:
The Wall Street Journal posted an advertisement on its Web site 12 hours early that showed Mr. McCain proudly looking into the distance. “McCain Wins Debate!” read the text.

Ah, the state of U.S. politics. Perennially amazing to me is the gullibility (and, therefore, culpability) of the electorate who -- given that the amount of money such ads cost is only spent after market research into their effectiveness -- are swayed by such 3-word print-bites instead of watching the damned debate and deciding for themselves.
