Trying to catch up with Barack Obama's online machine, John McCain's told supporters this evening that it has created "McCain Nation," a way for them to connect and organize.

"Through the McCain Nation online headquarters you can create events, upload and invite your contacts, send out invitations, get maps and directions, and much more," the campaign said in an email to supporters. "You can also search for events in your area and ask hosts to attend. Connecting with other McCain supporters on the ground is crucial to our grassroots strategy and will be key to our victory in November."

The email also announced the first "McCain Nation" national event at 7 p.m. on Aug. 14.

McCain is particularly behind Obama in organizing online among young voters.
