The McCain website is providing daily taking points and links to prominent blogs, and asking McSockpuppies to troll The Internets for Johnny.
Prizes will be awarded
“After your comments are verified, you will be awarded points through the McCain Online Action Center.” WaPo tells us more:
People who sign up for McCain’s program receive reward points each time they place a favorable comment on one of the listed Web sites (subject to verification by McCain’s webmasters). The points can be traded for prizes, such as books autographed by McCain, preferred seating at campaign events, even a ride with the candidate on his bus, known as the Straight Talk Express, according to campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.
I bid you all Successful Sockpuppeting!

How does that make all you feel today?
