Phew … I was a little worried about asking the only Beyond the Table co-host to ever drop an N-bomb in an episode where he stood on my prop bet with Tom the election. But he lets me and others know by forwarding an email that gives a little hint about his views/vote — and more proof that one side\’s lack of internet understanding (and respect for the laws governing it) hasn\’t really helped his cause. A technical mistake, most likely, but still … telling:
If you ever wanted to know where McCain stands on SPAM…..
This email, below, not only disregards industry best-practices and standards, but is in clear violation of the CAN SPAM Act of \’03.
He\’s already holding himself to a different standard.

Subject: Make History TomorrowMy Friend,From the time I entered the Naval Academy at age seventeen I have been privileged and honored to serve my country.
Throughout my years of service, I\’ve been faced with challenges where I could have taken the easy way out and given up. But I\’m an American and I never give up. Instead, I choose to show courage and stand up and fight for the country I love. Today, I am asking you to stand with me and to fight for our country\’s future.
Our country faces enormous challenges and our next president must be ready to lead on day one. My lifetime of experience has prepared me to lead our great nation. I\’m prepared to bring solutions to our economic challenges, bring our troops home in victory and improve our nation\’s healthcare system.
Time and time again, my country has saved my life and I owe her more than she has ever owed me. I have chosen to show my gratitude through a life of service to our country and tomorrow, you will have a choice before you.
I humbly ask you to make the choice that will allow me to serve my country a little while longer by casting your vote to elect me as your next President of the United States.
Finally, I ask that you never forget that much has been sacrificed to protect our right to vote. We must never forget those Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice, and with their lives, have protected our freedom. It is my great hope that you will exercise your right to vote as an American tomorrow.
I thank you for your kind support, your dedication to our cause, and most importantly I thank you for your vote.
With sincere appreciation,
John McCain
