"Duncan Hunter had 80 votes. Rudy only had 103, yet the media was going wild...well, Carl Cameron anyway...over the "liberal" Rudy winning the SC straw poll."
Fox News is one very small step above Entertainment Tonight.
Yeah, the ratings are nearly identical!(sarcasm)
"...Fox News is one very small step above Entertainment Tonight."
True but other TV news is a big step below ET.
Hunter had his personality going for him. Many if not most of the voters saw him in person along with some of the other candidates. If Hunter did not have a winning personality he would not have come on so strong. This is all great news.
Paraphasing:
[excitedly] Rudy is first with 130 votes and for second, and, uh, ahh, hmmm, [pregnant pause followed by a surprised] Duncan Hunter is second with 110 [almost a question].
