Presidential Elections

Presidential Elections

First, it looks like Mitt Romney has won the Maine Caucus per CNN and Assoc Press.

Next, Mark Steyn has a long article looking at McCain and Clinton, and why they can't both lose. He has a question for Guiani and I expect the urban legend is already being created, at least I SURE HOPE it is an urban legend.

The Clintons are nothing if not lucky, and Hillary must occasionally be enjoying a luxury-length cackle at the thought of being pitted against a 71-year-old "maverick" whose record seems designed to antagonize just enough of the base into staying home on Election Day. In the 2000 campaign season, running in a desultory fashion for the New York Senate seat, Rudy Giuliani waged a brief half-hearted campaign just long enough to leave the Republican Party with no one to run against Hillary except a candidate who wasn't up to the job.
Has he managed to do the same this time round?
