Giuliani leads in Spartanburg County straw poll (Duncan Hunter is 2nd)

Contra Costa TImes ^ | March 1, 2007 | AP

[FairOpinion]

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.

Rudy won't pick Mitt either. The GOP can't have two Northeasterns on the ticket. I read on another conservative website that Rudy might be interested in Mike Pence.

I'm amazed Giuliani is winning in SC.

Not South Carolina, just Spartanburg.

Aiken County held their straw poll last week and he only got a few votes.

Hunter/Bolton 2008

[Calpernia]

Slow and steady!

Duncan Hunter Bump!

[Combat_Liberalism]

Rudi Guliani and JC Watts. That's the ticket that slays the Hildabeast! Unbeatable.

[NinoFan]

Yes, it's a bit early for the mudslinging. (Well, at least between the candidates. On FR, it's already in full season.)

[Barrett 50BMG]

Mitt already trashed Rudy and McCain. Not a good thing to do.

I agree, he doesn't look like a viable VP.

[RepublicanPOTUSin08]

This shows that Rudy has it in the bag.

If he can make it there...heh.

Hunter will come in second in Iowa and knock Romney and Brownback out. But Hunter will collapse in New Hampshire, which likes trade and doesn't like social conservatism. Then it's Rudy v. McCain in SC and beyond. Rudy blows McCain away and takes the nomination.

[mware]

yeap I notice that, McCain should have at least come and faced us.

I mean Milliken and textiles.

A straw poll isn't worth the straw it's printed on.

[silentreignofheroes]

Al Sharpton's precincts ain't in yet, I reckun. ;-)

Different Belt...!?

"I'm amazed Giuliani is winning in SC. For now he is. SC will go Duncan Hunter in the primaries

[Barrett 50BMG]

Rudi Guliani and JC Watts.

JC Watts! HA! thats one slick talker! "HA!" hes cool.

[NormsRevenge]

Cunningham scandal anyone?

Not South Carolina, just Spartanburg.

OK. Nevermind.

Back to tug of war with my dog.

[RepublicanPOTUSin08]

I think it'll be Rudy/Huckabee.

Huckabee's a religious Republican who the MSM doesn't hate for some reason. He'll keep religious folks voting GOP in the south without garnering the "scary religious guy" meme from the MSM.

[Howlin]

That most voters listed WOT, security and economy as their priorities

Those are the ONLY Issues that will matter in 2008.

I don't think regionalism matters much anymore as to the location of the candidates, and Mitt is not tied to any region really, or is tied to Michigan, Massachusetts, and Utah. Style of course still matters, and Rudy has a New Yawk style, but Mitt is white bread.
