U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was the top vote-getter in a straw poll held by Kershaw County Democrats on Saturday.

Clinton, who is leading in the polls for the 2008 S.C. Democratic presidential primary, received 42 percent of the 228 votes cast.
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was second with 25 percent, followed by S.C. native and former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., with 19 percent.

U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., had 8 percent and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had 4 percent. U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich had 1 percent. No other candidate registered at least 1 percent.

2. I like what CNN has to say about it

Sen. Hillary Clinton won a straw poll of Democrats at the Kershaw County Democrats Bar-B-Q on Saturday. Of course, Barack Obama supporters were otherwise occupied at two rallies in the state.
