COVER STORY
GOP Duel
On the Republican side, the upcoming presidential campaign increasingly appears to be dominated by just two men, Mitt Romney and John McCain. Though neither has officially declared his candidacy, the Mormon and the Maverick stand apart in their organizational strength heading into the “invisible primary” of 2007.
By Jonathan Martin
