The Washington Post reports that the McCain campaign is offering its supporters "points" -- redeemable for awesome McCain-themed prizes! -- if they go and spread the campaign's message on message boards, blog comment sections, web sites, and anywhere else that free expression is tolerated. Of course, this isn't a new tactic. As the Post notes, "the Chinese government has paid Chinese citizens token sums for each favorable comment about government policies they post in chat rooms and on blogs." Country first, indeed. Meanwhile, if you'd like to become part of the McCain action team, go here for some suggested blogs to spam and today's talking points. Did you know, for instance, that "John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan that will create millions of good American jobs, ensure our nation's energy security, get the government's budget and spending practices in order, and bring relief to American consumers?" And be careful! "The web, blog and news sites listed here are a sample of political sites that you may post comments on. The content of these sites is not controlled by the McCain campaign and may contain offensive material. Please use your discretion in visiting these sites."
