Settle down kids. There's no anti-Obama conspiracy going on here. It's an ad placed by the Google network. They're on every page on the forums now. Google automatically scrolls the page for keywords, and then displays an ad accordingly. For every person who clicks the ad, HNI gets a few cents. McCain's campaign apparently has purchased ads in Google's AdSense program. So, when the Google server reads the word McCain, it places the McCain ad. By starting another thread about McCain, you allowed another McCain ad to be displayed . . . Congrats!

If Obama buys into the Google program, we might soon start seeing Obama ads showing up on pages where Obama is being discussed. Though that would certainly be ironic, wouldn't it? Obama ads on a hunting website, that is.
