Despite the fact that James Dobson has repeatedly attacked John McCain and made it abundantly clear that he will not, under any circumstances, vote for him, it looks like McCain is still grovelling for a meeting.
According to the Los Angeles Times, at the recent meeting with right-wing activists in Ohio that we wrote about yesterday, McCain told participants that he’s still trying to win Dobson over:
McCain told the activists Thursday that he also hoped to meet with James C. Dobson, founder of the influential group Focus on the Family, who has said he would not vote for McCain. “The senator spoke fondly of him, but believes there’s probably room for some bridge-building,” said Mike Gonidakis, head of Ohio Right to Life.
Participants said McCain took detailed notes and listened intently. McCain’s aides said they were satisfied with the meeting, and one called it “successful.”
