The John McCain campaign wants YOU.

The Washington Post today reports that presumptive Republican nominee's website is recruiting blog readers to copy and paste the daily McCain talking points across the blogosphere. PUMA and McCain supporters that want to get back at the "400 paid Obama bloggers" have the opportunity to clog the comments sections of your favorite and most hated blogs AND win rewards points to boot! The rewards points can be accumulated to cash in for such treasures as books autographed by McCain, good seats at events and the Mac daddy of all incentives - a ride on the Straight Talk Express.

This is a perfect opportunity for those of you who are grammar and spelling challenged and cannot form independent thought.

Participants don't even have to think about where to paste the prepared talking points. The website has a handy drop-down box of liberal, moderate and conservative blogs. Unfortuately Political Machine is not on the list - sorry gang. Here's a screenshot of the nifty participant portal. Have fun and remember you can use keyboard shortcuts rather than that pesky mouse - ctrl-c to copy, ctrl-v to paste. Now off with you to piss off legitimate blog commenters everywhere!

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
