John Dickerson has a concise summary of the ongoing war between Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney. Here’s Dickerson: “Giuliani’s essential charge is that Romney changes positions. Romney’s is that Giuliani doesn’t tell the truth.” Sounds right to me! Dickerson also touches on something important in this paragraph:
One of the more fascinating things about Romney’s candidacy is that, in the end, Romney’s political philosophy is his lack of conviction. Romney appears truly to be a postideological pragmatist interested in turning around troubled enterprises, whether those enterprises are businesses or the federal government. In other words, to Romney, a lack of conviction is a strength – it helps you analyze data and get things done. We’re about to find out how many people agree with him about that.
