McCain Campaign Announces New Initiative

WASHINGTON, DC -- John McCain is an underdog again but if you were to look at the Maverick you'd hardly see him breaking a sweat. Behind in every national poll with two weeks left to go before Election Day, the McCain campaign is launching a new initiative that's supposed to remind people who Barack Obama really is. The problem is, no-one really knows what John McCain is trying to say.

"Look, I really don't get it, but for some reason it kinda makes sense," says Joseph Hamilton of Western, PA. "I was leaning Obama and then someone gave me this sticker and I was confused, at first, and then I was like, 'Wait, why am I voting Obama?' I'm back on McCain's side again."

Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager, acknowledges the purposefully cryptic messages on the bumper stickers and signs being released as part of this new initiative but says, "I think the people will get it. They'll get why Barack Obama cannot be trusted. I think this is the message the McCain campaign should have been sending from Day One. But it's never too late to set the record straight."

"They seem...I don't know. I can't put my finger on it," says David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager. "I know I should be outraged by these new slogans but, for the life of me, I can't figure out why."

The new signs, bumper stickers, and mouse pads are selling incredibly well in the traditionally red states. "We may just bridge that $400-million gap by simply telling the American people what they've been wanting to hear from us for months," says Davis. "The response has been tremendous and Obama should be spooked by the whole thing," Davis said with an over-the-top wink.

The new slogans (shown below) are available on everything from t-shirts to gun targets and can be purchased at JohnMcCain.com
