Maricopa County is the heart of McCain country. It is the most populous county in Arizona by far, and houses Phoenix, the capitol. Maricopa County's GOP held a straw poll Saturday, and here are the results (via Sonoran Alliance):
Overall Votes (662 Votes):
#1 - Mitt Romney - 28.4% (188)
#2 - Fred Thomson - 18.3% (121)
#3 - Ron Paul - 17.4% (115)
#4 - Duncan Hunter - 14.0% (93)
#5 - John McCain - 12.1% (80)
#6 - Rudy Giuliani - 5.0% (33)
#7 - Mike Huckabee - 4.8% (32)
Most Acceptable (1781 Votes):
#1 - Fred Thompson - 20.8% (370)
#2 - Duncan Hunter - 20.1% (358)
#3 - Mitt Romney - 20.0% (356)
#4 - Rudy Giuliani - 13.2% (235)
#5 - Mike Huckabee - 11.6% (207)
#6 - John McCain - 7.6% (135)
#7 - Ron Paul - 6.7% (120)
Most Unacceptable (1949 votes):
#1 - John McCain - 21.9% (427)
#2 - Ron Paul - 20.3% (396)
#3 - Rudy Giuliani - 18.3% (357)
#4 - Mike Huckabee - 17.4% (340)
#5 - Duncan Hunter - 8.0% (156)
#6 - Fred Thompson - 7.8% (152)
#7 - Mitt Romney - 6.2% (121 )
Notice that McCain finishes a distant 5th to Romney in the voting, and places first as the most unacceptable candidate amongst those who know him best.
Also, if you remove Hunter (who's already dropped out) and Thompson (who is expected to drop out this week), Romney wins every category (even without those deletions he wins two and finishes .8% behind first on the third).

Speaking of Hunter dropping out, in an interview with Neil Cavuto (FoxNews) just after he dropped, he went on a little rant against Mitt and BainCapital. What's up with that?
This site implies MSM is holding back on BC matters and I, for one, don't like surprises.
So what's up with BC?
Sounds like someone trying to start a rumor. Generally its liberals who don't like companies who makes lots of money, and the thought of the MSM holding back anything that could be used against Romney is hilarious.
I live in Chandler AZ and I've never been a big fan of nutty McCain. After his attempt at forcing amnesty on all of us...I'd rather not vote then vote for him. Are republicans that blind? I am caucasion and have an ice cream truck and I can tell you that since Jan 1st it is extremely noticeable the illegals are not around as much. Someone has done a good job getting laws passed for the legal citizens..finally No Thanks To McCain. I will vote for Romney!!!
