With 71 of 75 precincts reporting, Giuliani had garnered 123 votes. California Rep. Duncan Hunter was running in second place, with 110 votes, and Arizona Sen. John McCain at 86 votes, according to county GOP officials.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 59 votes, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback had 68 votes and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee rounded out the front-runners, with 18 votes.

I hope Hunter steals every single one of McCain's voters away.
What I'm curious about is whether McCain would have done a bit better if he hadn't said what he did about the military sacrificing their lives for nothing.
SC is a huge military state and I know that didn't go over big.
Post #460 has to do with the straw poll, not nopardon's unsubstantiated allegations about Hunter.
Treasonous
Conservative
Bastarads
Thanks. I appreciate the facts.
Hello, TheGrayGhost. I am the mother of an Army veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. If I understand you correctly, you believe that Hillary becoming President wouldn't be "particularly worse" than a Giuliani presidency? Do you honestly believe that they hold similar views on the WOT and Iraq? Or even about our military men and women? Do you even know much about Hillary Clinton at all? If you are in fact a Republican and/or even remotely conservative, and/or even remotely an American who wishes the best for our great nation, and/or even remotely a supporter of our military, you surely can't mean what you said in your comment.
You are actively opposing Rudy. Your view is suspect. Rudy was supposed to lose big in SC - He won. That's BIG news.
All very interesting, but I don't think Hunter had a clue about all of that, when he said killing of an egg after fertilized should be viewed as the crime of murder.
Ping people you're trashing; it's considered good forum etiquette, not that that would matter to you.
Okay.
Good to have proof because I'm sure just my living in SC and saying so wouldn't be enough.
Of course, the other day I provided a link of what Newt said at a college seminar. I typed a few notes of what he said and gave the link to the audio.
A freeper said that Newt couldn't possibly have said that because it wasn't true and it was up to me to prove it was true (about which cities were safest and why). I told him that never before were freepers required to back up a politician's statements. LOL
Baptist. Southern, I believe.
see post #478
I'm in the military, and I fully agree with Gray Ghost's comment.
I think it is FANTASTIC. Even better - I read that he is writing a book AND making a documentary on the threat that is Islam. I can't wait. :)
That's fanaticism.
"And the article says nothing about the amount of time spent by anyone."
But ANOTHER article did. See 460 for link.
I just heard them say on Fox that Hunter's son and campaign manager were "camped out in S.C. the past couple of weeks". And that Rudy G. didn't expect to do well in it.
The candidates will make their case, the voters will listen, and the junk posted on FR won't mean a damn thing. It is all masturbatory.

Dude, that's so Clinton. ;-)
It was very crass.
We all still love and miss her.
I don't think the GOP should be happy with our bang for the buck with Rudy in this one.
This was your post that I was responding to, which is why I mentioned that Rudy's people hadn't spent any noticeable time here and very little money.
