Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

It's amazing how all the guys and gals running for office this election season are special. But don't take our word for it. Verification is amply available at Lonely Candidate, where they're tracking each and every time a candidate or proxy claims to possess a unique quality, resume item, or political position by starting a sentence with the words "I'm the only..." Examples:

• Rudy Giuliani: "I'm the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton."
• Bill Richardson: "I am the only candidate for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget."
• Dennis Kucinich: "...I'm the only candidate willing and eager to challenge the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies."
• John McCain: "I'm the only candidate in this race prepared to be Commander-in-Chief from day one and dedicated to continuing the fight against Islamic fundamentalists."

OK, save your "whoop-dee-doos" and "well la dee das" until you've browsed a few more. Like how about this one from Minnesota Democratic candidate for senator Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer: "I'm the only candidate in this race who has a hyphenated last name."

Talk about a shoo-in.
