REPUBLICAN RIVALS SHARE ONE BOND: ALL LOSERS

January 16, 2008 -- WASHINGTON - With this field of losers, it's no
wonder the race for the GOP presidential nomination remains completely
up for grabs.

The only common bond among the Republicans running is that each one has
managed to humiliate himself with disastrous defeats at some point or
another.

These guys have no running game, no passing game, no nothing.

Mike Huckabee got the ball in Iowa and promptly dropped it. John McCain
got it in New Hampshire and fumbled it last night in Michigan.

Now Mitt Romney has the ball and is destined to drop it in South
Carolina on Saturday.

But there's only one GOP candidate that beats all the rest at being a
loser: Rudy Giuliani.

He has perfected the art of underperforming to the point that his
campaign now insists it was all part of his game plan.

He's been reduced to watching from the sidelines and praying for other
people to lose - like McCain in Michigan so his momentum would be
stalled - rather than getting in the game and winning himself.

In fact, Rudy's campaigned so badly that the latest poll shows him
losing New Jersey, which had a front-row seat for his shining moment
during 9/11.

Even fringe candidate Ron Paul - the million-to-one long shot everybody
picks on to make themselves look good - is beating Giuliani.

Paul, who finished ahead of Giuliani in Michigan, currently has twice as
much claim on the Republican nomination as "America's Mayor."

He's picked up two delegates.

Giuliani? He's got just one.
