'08 Republicans eat their own
Romney spreads lies about Giuliani on the 700 club.
He slammed McCain over gay marriage, too.
(Examiner?) Draft questions cloud Giuliani’s chances
(Politico) Anyone but McCain, Santorum Says
Interestingly, Giuliani actually has the most to lose among the '08 candidates. His hugely profitable consulting firm and extravagant lecture fees are all built on the semi-mythological image of him and his actions on 9-11.
By front running for president, he opens up all of that image to attack and scrutiny. I find it hard to believe that he comes out of this with as good a reputation as when he came in. It could be very costly.
Just a thought.
(Later: Despite the Republican candidates 'eating their own' at CPAC, the chosen front page story is that Clinton and Obama are actually going to be in the same place!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG.)
Later Still: The Boston Globe has a piece with Richard Viguerie at CPAC telling "conservatives" that they should not support any of the '08 Republicans, and not even support the party right now.

Good point, Mike. I see Giuliani is "surging" in the polls (interesting term there), but I agree that once more attention is paid to Giuliani, nobody's going to much care for him.

I'm not a Giuliani expert, but I just see him as so politically 'target rich.'
And with no clear "conservative" candidate, supporters of the three frontrunners are going to have to succeed among the crazies by attempting to tear each other down.

Judging by the rhetoric from the Republican hopefuls, it seems they feel success at the polls will be judged on who can claim the title as biggest bigot. I wonder who this will work with the general electorate?

Not well.
It's also the continued effort to prove the other guys aren't bigoted enough.
I think that's why I'm enjoying watching it.
Republicans eat their own.
