How was it that the decision by various right-wing leaders to consider bolting the GOP if Giuliani gets the nomination got out so fast? According to World Magazine, it was because James Dobson wanted it to: "The group was here to consider one question: If the Republican Party nominates a candidate for president who is pro-choice, should this group throw its support behind a third-party candidate? Two hours later came the answer to that question: Yes.
Though the meeting was closed, Dobson said, 'And I wouldn't mind if that got leaked.' It did. Within hours an account of the meeting was on websites, and by Sunday it was in the papers."
