Not surprisingly, Hillary is the favorite in the first 2008 Presidential straw poll, conducted by Richland County (South Carolina) Democrats.                        

Candidate Votes
Hillary Clinton 44
John Edwards/Ewards 34
John Warner 32
Joe Biden 24
John Kerry 4

Clinton's dominance was even more dramatic in a Fox News poll:

The Republican field was more evenly split, but Rudy Giuliani edged out John McCain for the plurality:

It would be intriguing to see a rematch between Rudy and Hillary (though I can't say I'm hoping for it - that's one step closer to the White House than I'm comfortable with her getting).

Personally, given the data from the South Carolina poll, I'd be happiest with a match-up between Rudy and John Warner.  I was a little surprised to see a Republican Senator polling so strongly for the Democratic nomination, but maybe they've come to realize the best way to win elections is by running Republicans.

Oh wait... maybe they meant Governor Mark Warner.
