On November 3rd the McCain campaign made a last minute appeal for the women's vote. How did he do this? According James (don't call him Jim) Lileks, at Screedblog, the
McCain campaign sent out a postcard to potential voters in swing states.
The postcard included the following text:
“As the father of three daughters, I owe _________ a debt for
inspiring them and millions of other women to believe nothing in this
great country is beyond their reach. . . I share _________'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.”
Here is Senator McCain fondly gazing at the person whose name has been excised from the text above.
And here's the blurb beneath John's beaming gaze:
So who is all this warm, fondness and praise directed at? It's not who you think ... or maybe it is.
And some still think it would have been a good thing to have this man as the Republican standard bearer for the next four years. Was God's guiding hand involved in John McCain's loss? It is something to think about.
