Former Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer and Horry County Council Chairman Tim Rice will face each other in a runoff for the Republican nomination in South Carolina new 7th Congressional District.
Bauer led a field of nine Republicans, getting about 32 percent of the vote in Tuesday's primary. Because he did not get a majority of the vote, he will face the second-place candidate, Rice, in a runoff June 26.
Rice got about 27 percent of the vote, attorney Jay Jordan was third with about 22 percent.

Hopefully, local conservatives will rally around the Rice campaign. Andre Bauer is too erratic and is just unsuited to be a Congressman. There’s no telling what’ll happen if he wins.
Andre will win. Rice has many problems with locals. He’s on the county board here and has been a driving force to eliminate the Harley bike week here. This Spring he sued a local bar, Suck Bang and Blow (the stages of an internal engine firing) for letting the bikers do “burn outs”. This has been going on for many years here and was a stupid fight to pick if he wants voters in Myrtle Beach.
Andre, for all his faults, is very well connected to the local businesses in Myrtle. He is very well liked.
I’m not familiar with Tim Rice. What can you tell me about him?
Bauer is another Lindsey Graham. A creep.
Typo, it’s Tom Rice, and he’s a CPA and a member of the Horry County Council.
Do you think the new district is safe for GOP?
“Do you think the new district is safe for GOP?”
It is most of the time.
Thanks.

Sure as hell is this time, the only demorat who had a decent chance at winning had to drop out after being arrested for drunk running.
I hope Bauer gets curb stomped.
No more Lindsay Grahams.
