Guiliani wins So.Carolina straw poll (Fox News)
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — In a sign of what die-hard Republicans may think of the field of presidential contenders, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was leading 10 other candidates Thursday in a straw poll in conservative Spartanburg County.

With 81 of 92 precincts reporting, Giuliani garnered 158 votes. California Rep. Duncan Hunter was running in a close second with 152 votes and Arizona Sen. John McCain was third with 116 votes, according to county GOP officials.

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback had 83 votes, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 80 votes and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee rounded out the front-runners with 21 votes.

2. Spread that image far and wide
May be better to wait until he wins the nom first, though.

3. The significance of this result
South Carolina is considered a microcosm of the South. Bible Belt
etc. Illustrates how pragmatic they can become if they smell a
"winner".

Interesting tidbit, C. Cameron, political reporter at Fox News,
Flyeres were distributed in SC mailboxes smearing M. Romney as
a Mormon and how he had changed his positions on the social
issues. Some things never change.
