If McCain wants to get his message out on the internet, he should pick RON PAUL as vice-president.

[...] Outside The Beltway, who also doesn’t seem to be losing sleep over being left off of McCain...: “… A correspondent informs me that he stumbled upon that page “a few months ago” and observes that the fact we’re just now learning about it means it’s not creating its desired effect. Quite bizarre.” [...]

Thanks - we dont need a prize to flood your boards, just mentioning his name gets you a read and a comment from me.

“This is a perfect opportunity for those of you who are grammar and spelling challenged and cannot form independent thought.”

Hey, there is a place for Bit in McCain's game plan!

Does anybody know how John McCain plans on doing the things that everyone is claiming he is going to do?

It's always good to ask the question.... How??

And then there was Usenet.

Well at least we don't have to worry about that anymore.

This isn't new. He's had the point system thing for quite some time and it's already made the rounds in the blogs.

John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan that will create millions of good American jobs, ensure our nation’s energy security, get the government’s budget and spending practices in order, and bring relief to American consumers.

Preaching to the converted. McCain's list has only five liberal blogs, four "moderate" blogs, and about fifty conservative blogs.

I’m not sure whether to be relieved or miffed that OTB didn’t make the cut.

You? Hell, I could use the traffic more. (Heh)

But the effect you describe...

Inevitably, though — especially if there’s a points system and prepacked talking points — it’s going to be a bunch of drive-by yahoos pasting in tangentially-relevant comments and going away.

... is going to happen even absent the McCain people doing this. You recall the last couple elections, right?
And then there was Usenet.
