You don't need to debounce the AD, you need to debounce the switch. Google will give you about 50,000 hits searching for microcontroller switch debounce. I don't know if it's in any of the sticky posts on the forums here, but check Google and wikipedia FIRST.
 
What do you have connected to RA0?

BTW, do you realise that you are reading the ADC twice per loop.

Just really noticed that thanks will see it replacing it with AdTmp will help...
