McOops - ad runs too soon

I've been doing my blogging on McCain's lame stuntmanship over at Detroit News (link below) but I want to archive this moment here. This ad couldn't make more clear how insincere his promise was to skip the debate if there wasn't a bailout agreement by today. This ran in the Wall Street Journal today, apparently a day too early. But since these buys have to made in advance, one can only conclude that he had intended to attend the debate all along and this whole charade was once again simply designed as a short term strategy to steal the news cycle for the free air time. Well that and to dilute the focus on the embarassment of his running mate's relentlessly blithering remarks in Couric's interviews.

The WaPo puts the ad in context with this screenshot grab from the WSJ page it appeared on.
