Novak writes today:
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Giuliani has stubbornly held on to first place in national surveys of Republican voters. His elevated status cannot be written off as merely superior name identification. He no longer seems uncomfortable as a Republican and clearly dominated last week’s presidential debate in Dearborn, Mich. The real possibility that Giuliani might be the Republican nominee led a group of religious conservatives, who met in Salt Lake City on Sept. 29 under the leadership of James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family, to consider a third-party alternative.
But the situation is not a simple confrontation between the Christian right and Giuliani. The Gallup data suggest that Dobson and the Salt Lake City group may be out of touch with rank-and-file churchgoers. A well-known social conservative, who asked that his name not be used, is disturbed by Dobson’s statement he could not vote for Giuliani under any circumstances. Instead of being considered the lesser of two evils in a possible race against Sen. Hillary Clinton, Giuliani seems to be the positive choice of millions of religious Americans.
Yeah, well, the conventional wisdom as generated and propagated by the Village in which Novak is happily ensconced is always slow and wrong, which is why we read Glenn Greenwald, who called his shot on Tooliani months ago.
