...Republican side, neither McCain nor Giuliani have hired youth vote coordinators, though Giuiliani does employ the same Republican pollster that Smith's team has used. A spokesman for McCain emphasized the campaign's presence on Facebook and MySpace. Mitt Romney's campaign has not met with Smith, says a campaign spokesman, because he already learned how to do successful youth vote outreach as Massachusetts . Recently Romney announced a "Students for Mitt" program in which college students receive a 10% commission for every $1,000 they raise for the campaign...
...with a speedy grasp of policy, he's also a consummate politician. Charles Haughey, a discredited forerunner in the Taoiseach's office, described Ahern admiringly as "the most cunning, the most devious, the best of them all." Even so, voters seem to trust him.
