Just got this in the mail: McCain, in his last desperate hours, is reaching out to the party’s hard core. Just not his party:

Let’s open it up and see what it says . . . man, this is rough stuff.

The text says “As the father of three daughters, I owe Senator Clinton a debt for inspiring them and millions of other women to believe nothing in this great country is beyond their reach. . . I share Senator Clinton’s goal of promoting women to more important roles throughout our government. By the end of my first term, I promise you will see a dramatic increase in the presence of women in every part of the government. You have my word on it. John McCain.”

I know what they’re going for, but it’s the most remarkably odd piece of campaign literature I’ve seen this year. They look like a divorced couple reconciling at their daughter’s wedding.
