AP: Romney, Giuliani a hit with S.C. GOP
Crowds clapped as they packed around Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani while they arrived for the Greenville County Republican convention Saturday.
Some in the crowd grumbled about the absence of Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Yes, where was McCain?
But, does it matter? McCain has been fading in the polls and the Bomb Iran routine – well the Macaca moment for his Presidential campaign.
There was little doubt about the popularity of former New York Mayor Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, as they held court for about a half-hour each before addressing one of the state’s largest Republican groups.
Others worked the crowd, too, such as Brentleigh Crow, who was trying to get her picture taken with all the candidates. Crow, like some Republicans here, was miffed that McCain of Arizona was nowhere in sight.
“I was appalled that McCain thumbed his nose at Greenville,” Crow said. McCain’s campaign staff said he had scheduling conflicts that kept him away from South Carolina’s county conventions, events filled with some of the GOP’s most committed activists.
McCain didn’t buy booth space at the event, either, said Wendy Nanney, the Greenville Republican chairwoman.
