The results here are wild:
Candidate | Votes |
Giuliani | 158 |
Hunter | 152 |
McCain | 116 |
Brownback | 83 |
Romney | 80 |
Huckabee | 21 |
Some thoughts on this.

Second, my sense is that the Duncan Hunter result isn’t so much for him as for "a conservative". This would jive with the Novak story that I discussed yesterday.
Third, what happened to Romney and Huckabee? Each for their own reasons, they should be performing better than this. If this continues both are in deep, deep trouble.
