McCain: Wooing Women?

John McCain has been noisily courting women Hillary Clinton supporters (both directly, and through Carly Fiorina), but this strategy might not work, especially considering how little support he is getting from Republican women.

Well, actually, a cookie recipe. Again. Yes, I know that this seems like a trivial mistake, almost not worth mentioning. And indeed, the first time Cindy was caught stealing recipes I gave it a pass. I mean, it wasn’t like she was stealing drugs! But did she learn? No! Even though she blamed and fired […]
