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

[Hoodlum91]

"Arizona Sen. John McCain: 164
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani: 162 "

Beats Rudy by 4? Must be the new math.

[Chi-townChief]

Good showing by Hunter for what it's worth!!

[flashbunny]

polls, polls, polls - can't get enough of those 24 hour a day polls!

Who's winning in tradesports? That will tell us who our next president will be!

McCain won this?

[msnimje]

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

[Jeff Head]

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.

[msnimje]

Sanders (the party was unable to identify this candidate): 1 (write-in)

[JohnnyZ]

McCain 22.6%
Giuliani 22.3%
Hunter 21.8%
Brownback 11.7%
Romney 11.0%
Gingrich 4.5%
Huckabee 2.9%
Tancredo 1.4%
All Others 1.8%

PING to you.

[BonnieJ]

The title of this should be changed. He beat Guiliani by 2.

[editor-surveyor]

I find it interesting to note that only McLame rose in the ranks on the late votes. Statistically impossible in such a large field.

[gpapa]

It appears Romney has moved down to the second tier of candidates while Hunter has moved up to the top three based on these results.

[Gator113]

Just announced on FNC:

FRED THOMPSON, is seriously considering a run for President.

This just get keeps getting better!!!!!!

[Kevmo]

Well, this certainly has been a fascinating recount-laden process, once again.

[Cailleach]

ping...interesting that they would pick a county with a mega college town as the county seat, huh? Just think of all those professors...

[Mr. Mojo]

Something stinks here. Personally I don't know even a single McCain-supporting Republican. He's abysmal on the 1st amendement (CFR), the 2nd Amendment (F- rating from GOA), and is currently teaming with the ultimate liberal's liberal (Kennedy) to obliterate our borders and grant amnesty to tens of millions of future Democrat voters.

This McCain lunatic is the enemy, pure and simple.

This is great news for the Duncan camp!

I tried to show the other day, by analyzing the GOP_USA poll results, how Duncan is arguably the strongest candidate out there, in a poll which measures voters perception of the candidates ON THE ISSUES.

Its just a matter of face time, air time, name recognition for Duncan to 'catch fire', and for dynamics to take over..

What happened here with McCain at the end is what statisticians would call...highly unlikely.

Don't let anyone try to downplay this, and spin the fact that Duncan had a couple people "camp out" there for a few weeks.

This is big for Duncan Hunter.

Remember, the Rudy folks have been telling everyone that Rudy was the only guy who could raise the kind of money necessary to compete on the national level against Hillary.

The rebuttal to that argument can be found by analyzing what each candidate SPENT here in SC, and what VOTES were produced. Remember, its all about VOTER TURNOUT...getting ALL the registered pubs out to the polls.

Look at the ratio of VOTES / DOLLARS SPENT.

Ill bet Duncan just blew everyone out of the water in this category.

[airborne]

This kind of spoils your raving last night about, "All we have heard was that Rudy would lose in SC. The fact is he won! "

Welcome to the world of politics!

[nctexan]

This looks like a good sign for Ron Paul...

BIG MO is happening!

4 Votes is 400% of Jim Gilmore! I get an ERR in Excel when I try to show his improvement over Dennis Kucinich.
