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.

Ahem! Hunter had more than anyone but Rudy. That would be something to talk about. But did CC talk about it? Nope. (Not that I heard, anyway, unless he just mentioned it in passing.)

It was all Rudy, all the time.

That's two GOP straw polls where Hunter has kicked ass.

I thought that Hannity downplayed Hunters numbers.

Hannity supports Rudy, which is why he downplayed Hunter's showing.

Ya know, I don't understand why Hannity is being such a Rudy suck-up...it's so obvious too...

Thanks for the info. Hunter is the story. He went in there as an unknown while Rudy went in as a celeb. The real story is Hunter competing this strongly so early.

Given the numbers tonight I think the media will be covering hunter tomorrow when he speaks at 845

I noticed that...

I have never been a Carl Cameron fan...so I don't pay attention to him.

I wish SEAN had pointed out what a big deal it is for a candiadate that hasn't even been mentioned on the MSM came that close to Rudy.

I wish Sean did a lot more with his gig than he does. He's a lightweight.

Sean's too busy pimping the establishment RINO of choice.

More than that, Rudy has money and organizational power. Hunter has neither. This was a real case of the Internet empowering the grass roots to communicate so that they can tell the GOP what they want.

Ping - Hunter came in second in the SC straw poll.

Still think he has no chance in the age of the Internet and YouTube?
