McCain's excellent adventure!
Edited on Tue Jul-22-08 10:56 AM by tannybogus
In a daring bid to wrench attention from his Democratic rival in the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) today embarked on an historic first-ever visit to the Internet.

Given that the Arizona Republican had never logged onto the Internet before, advisors acknowledged that his first visit to the World Wide Web was fraught with risk.

But with his Democratic rival Barack Obama making headlines with his tour of the Middle East and Europe, the McCain campaign felt that they needed to "come up with something equally bold for John to do," according to one advisor.

McCain aides said that the senator's journey to the Internet will span five days and will take him to such far-flung sites as Amazon.com, eBay and Facebook.

With a press retinue watching, Sen. McCain logged onto the Internet at 9:00 AM Sunday, paying his first-ever visit ever to Mapquest.com.

5. Pretty pitiful exercise considering how good Obama looked at presser today
Poor John, he just doesn't look presidential at all, or even senatorial for this century.

9. My friends, today as I braved the internet, I was heartened at the groundswell support...
For my campaign. Particularly moving was a message I got from a young rock and roller, a Mister Rick Astley, who told me that he was never going to give me up nor let me down.
