We'll have to see what's up with those numbers. Something's rotten in the state of Denmark!

I don't know enough about how the poll was conducted, precinct demographics, etc., to jump to the conclusion that there was any sort of cheating going on; but the leapfrog victory of McCain, occurring as it did in conjunction with a "rain delay," would certainly make me want to take a close enough look at the process to make sure that it was on the up-and-up.

Sen. John McCain The most advanced field team in the state for a WH ’08 campaign, McCain’s exploratory cmte bought a round of targeted robo calls to supporters in preparation for tonight. According to spokesperson Adam Temple, the cmte also sent out a letter from SC AG Henry McMaster to supporters in the area urging them to go to the straw poll. Last visit to the region: Feb. 18. Paid SC staffers: 11. SC volunteers: “Hundreds” have signed up statewide in the past few weeks, according to Temple.

Pretty sad showing with all this manpower...
