Surprisingly liberal
Law Professor Ann Althouse points out that, notwithstanding the preferences of the media, McCain hasn't yet won the nomination -- although you'd never know it from the coverage in the press.
If Romney won a caucus in the extreme northeast and nobody noticed, would it mean a damned thing?
Mitt Romney never wins, because every time he does, it doesn't seem to count. What a loser!
You know, the new Zogby poll has Romney ahead in California. That's after Schwarzenegger endorsed McCain. The McCain campaign has been good at creating the impression that McCain is inevitable. Would that tend to make Romney holdouts get in line in the name of party unity?
There are a lot of Republicans that hate McCain so much they don't even want the party that he would lead. But quite aside from that, I think it's awfully strange for McCain to be perceived as the clear favorite when his polling and vote count numbers are only in the low 30s. They are much lower than the second-place candidate on the Democratic side.
AND: The NYT has no story of any kind on the Maine caucus. Not even a squib.
As we head into Super Tuesday, it's good to clear our heads of the crap put out by the agenda-driven media; it's still anyone's election at this point, with the frontrunners in both parties neck and neck. McCain hasn't won his coronation place at the top of the ticket yet.
So maybe I won't have to choose between the liberal Democrat or the liberal (kinda' sorta') Republican.

Glad I don't watch television. This sort of shit tends to make people do things they wouldn't do otherwise.

Really, it is just a coincidence that the Maine results aren't reported anywhere. It has NOTHING to do with the media hoping the Republicans will nominate the least effective candidate. NOTHING, I tell you . . .
