...negative attacks, a network of murky anti-McCain groups ran push polls spreading lies about McCain's record. They papered the state with leaflets claiming, among other things, that Cindy McCain was a drug addict and John had fathered a black child out of wedlock, complete with a family photograph. The dark-skinned girl in the photo was, in fact, the McCains' daughter Bridget, whom they adopted as an infant after Cindy met her on a charity mission at Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh.

And just as you're about to block out that queasiness, Twain slams in a snippet of what a particularly despicable lynching (in Texas, as it happened) was like. Oh, God. (The man was slow-roasted to death over a coal-oil fire.) And then, when...
...truth, we could end this story right here. You have the photograph up top of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, victor and vanquished, all smiles and full of shared purpose. He says she "rocks." She says they used to be "toe-to-toe" but now they're "shoulder-to-shoulder." And you have the name of the town, which is the whole point of the exercise: Democratic party unity prevails in picturesque Unity...
