JOHN MCCAIN

Playing John McCain's New Web Game

John McCain's campaign has come up with a pretty funny way of getting his strengths and more than a few attacks out there, with a new web quiz game called "The John and Hillary Show."

The answers are funny, sometimes bordering on mean. When asked, "which candidate held Sen. Clinton accountable for attempting to waste taxpayer dollars on a museum for the 'cultural and pharmaceutical event', if you pick Obama, the answer is "Barack Obama has been unable to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for anything. The correct answer was John McCain."

If you try to select Rudy Giuliani in response to "Which candidate has the experience to lead the United States as Commander in Chief against radical islamist extremism?", the response is, "Rudy Giuliani has experience in homeland disaster releif and performed well in the aftermath of 9-11. However, he has no foreign policy experience and stood silent as Rumsfeld moved forward with a failed strategy in Iraq. The correct answer is John McCain."

[Yup, small "i" on Islamist. I guess we hate the enemy so much, we refuse to capitalize their name.]

If you say, "Mitt Romney," the response is, "Is this a joke? You must have made an error in pushing that button."

Asked which candidate can keep the Reagan coalition of fiscal and social conservatives together, if you pick, "Fred Thompson," the response is that he is "a close second. The correct answer was John McCain."

On the fourth question, I notice the cartoon Hillary waves a Michigan pennant. I wonder if that's designed to stir up bad blood among Ohioans in advance of this week's big Ohio State-Michigan game.
