Romney spin: McCain was big loser in Iowa
The Turner Report ^ | January 4, 2008 | Randy Turner

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is already attacking the politician who appears to be his chief rival in New Hampshire, Arizona Sen. John McCain. On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Romney attempted to spin the Iowa caucuses as a defeat for John McCain, lumping McCain with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as the big losers.

"The Washington insiders are being rejected," Romney said.

Romney placed a distant second to former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. McCain and Fred Thompson were in a virtual tie for third.

Romney continued to say that placing ahead of big-name candidates Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and McCain in Iowa was a victory for the Romney campaign.

Hahahaha! He spent over $20 million dollars in Iowa, if I remember correctly. I hope Rudy McRombee cannabalizes itself in the coming weeks!

The day before, one of his smarmy slimers was on TV pretending that they didn’t know Fred had even entered the race.

$20 million is pocket change for Mitt.
But we all happy your man Fred kept the 3rd place position. If McCain got 3rd, that would be bad. Now we feel better. Thanks Fred. :)
