They’re desperate, so they’ll try anything. And — as with the bogus McCain-affair story from the New York Times, the press will do its best to hype anything, however weak.

Whether I win or lose, guys, you’ll have my lawyers trolling through your emails for years. And we both know there’s a lot of stuff there you don’t want anyone to see.
