...first week of January just increases the odds that party nominees may be selected before most of the country has even tuned in. That's a problem, with the stakes so high in a country unsettled by war and so many untested--and still unfamiliar--candidates. A recent Time poll shows Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton leading their respective competitors nationally, but the race is still wide open. Bill Clinton has described campaigning for President as a job interview, with an application process consisting of unrelenting media scrutiny and a grueling coast-to-coast gauntlet of events and debates.

The lifelong Methodist and former Sunday-school teacher faces the challenge of convincing Americans her faith is genuine.

...None of this would be possible if evangelical voters - and their leaders - were behaving as they have in the past, lining up behind a single conservative. Instead, various polls, including the Washington Post poll released this week, show that it is Giuliani who leads his GOP rivals even among regular church attendees. TIME noted in a story this week that 66% of white evangelical protestants, in a Pew Research study, describe terror and security as "very important," compared with 56% for social issues...
