That Damn McCain Campaign

So amidst all the fury over the Obama camp's legal drive to stop the NRA ad, the McCain camp (could it really have been anyone else?) pulls the Sarah Palin Miss Alaska pageant video.

A few key points:
  • There is some dispute over the veracity of the anti-Obama NRA ad
  • No one denies that Sarah Palin competed in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant.
  • As far as anyone can tell, the Obama campaign operates within a commonly agreed upon reality.
  • As far as anyone can tell, the McCain campaign seeks to create its own reality based upon its desires.
That last point refers to the already much discussed ad McCain placed in online today declaring his victory in tonight's debate. The problem? The debate is tonight, which means it hasn't taken place yet.
