From John Harwoord's Republican-race-is-wide-open piece in today's Wall Street Journal:
Indeed, the serial erosion of support for Messrs. McCain, Romney and Giuliani has alarmed some longtime Republicans about the prospect of disarray persisting until next summer's Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. While that might produce the sort of attention-grabbing suspense that some political reformers have pined for, modern electoral strategists place far more value on rapidly uniting party constituencies for the general election battle ahead.
Somebody has to win in the end. Right?
