So does this mean everyone will now support McCain or do they want Hillary to win? LOL

"Arizona Sen. John McCain: 164
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani: 162 "
Beats Rudy by 4? Must be the new math.

The bad weather led to a very low turnout. They had around 500 votes and were expecting 1500 to 2000.

IMHO, with little press, and little name recognition, Hunter did extremely well to have finished right in the thick of it with two of the candidates the press has been covering the most.
McCain's comeback in this was pretty phenomial and unexpected after he was significantly down with something like only ten percent of the precincts left to count.
I am anxious to see how Hunter fairs at CPAC.

If Tancredo would have parked his ego, that 10 would have gone to the active Rep. against illegals,Duncan Hunter.

Yes, very unexpected. I did not expect him to have quite so many friends this time around after what he did the last time he was through the Upstate.

Mitt Romney 53 59 80 80
Newt Gingrich* -- -- -- 33
Mike Huckabee 14 18 21 21
Tom Tancredo -- -- -- 10
John Cox -- -- -- 4
Ron Paul -- -- -- 4
Condoleezza Rice* -- -- -- 2

It was reported he had 5 times more volunteers than the others working in the state the past several weeks.

"They had around 500 votes and were expecting 1500 to 2000."
I count 726 with a statistical three-way tie for first (each with 22 percent of the total).

McCain's comeback in this was pretty phenomial Look at the chronology I just posted. I'd put it in the 'incredible' category. ;-)
I am anxious to see how Hunter fairs at CPAC.
CSPAN is supposed to air his speech at 5PM (8PM eastern)
I plan to watch.

McCain got 48 of the last 100 votes? this sounds like the Dems "motor voter" pushes at the end of the precinct reports, like they did to take the VA senate seat from Allen.
you have got to be kidding me.
To: cripplecreek
I think all it does is show how irrevant a straw poll in one county among only certain types of voters is to the general election.

Care to give a source on that one (HINT: You won't be able to!)
