Washington Post: Unity08 Seeks Middle-of-the-Road Candidate

Excerpt:
"Former Gov. Angus King (I-Maine), another leader of the new group, said the current Republican campaign underscores the negative impact of this sort of base politics, noting that candidates including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) have had to engage in numerous "twists and turns" on crucial stands on social issues to please conservative activists.

Asked about former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- a social liberal and the current frontrunner for the Republican nomination -- King was skeptical about the Empire State politician's ability to win if he sticks to the issue positions he adopted as mayor. "It will be very interesting to see what's left of him if he does win the nomination," King said."

Alex: I am proud to be a friend of Governor King (I am also a former Independent candidate for Governor of Maine). Governor King is extraordinarily talented. A video including Governor King is also part of the Washington Post coverage, at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2007/04/25/VI2007042502495.html
