I’m sure they were pulled as soon as it was made public. Here is the original bit in the Washington Post, with a screenshot of the ad in context on a Wall Street Journal online article. I don’t hold it against the McCain campaign – it was just a mistake – but I don’t think that the Obama campaign – or anyone else – is just making it up.

P.S. This is a non-story, and I hope it doesn’t gain any traction. Of course McCain’s campaign had post-debate materials ready to go. And of course McCain was planning to attend the debate at the time that these materials were developed (probably as soon as the debate had originally been confirmed). Obama too. So what. Let’s move on, right?
