This is incredible. Who is this Inez Tenenbaum and why is she so popular in a conservative state?

The only question is, can the state superintendent of education pull it off in a state that has been trending Republican for the past 10 years?

Good question but this is one of five Senate seats that have been in the Democrat hands since Reconstution... Thus history sides with Tenenbaum ..... but eventually someone other than a democrat will win it.....

[The Clemson Tiger]

I live in SC...she's the only viable Dem the state has...

Make no mistake, however...she could win - particularly since the Republican field of candidates is so weak...

She won't get my vote, though...

I'm a yankee from New York. If I moved to South Carolina right now and somehow got the GOP nomination, I would win. This is rat psyops. Charlie Cook IS NOT NON BIASED period. When how-odd? is the nominee for the rats, tannenbaum will get about 20% of the White vote and that added to 95% of the Black vote (115% in Jasper county) will spell a 58/42 blowout. Nice try Charlie but; no sale on this "tossup"!

The four announced Republican candidates — U.S. Rep. Jim DeMint of Greenville, former Attorney General Charlie Condon of Sullivan’s Island, Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride and Charleston real estate developer Thomas Ravenel — have failed to excite the GOP faithful.

Here we go again. The liberal media must have this article saved on its hard drives. Come election time, it just changes the names of the candidates. In '99, we heard plenty about how none of the Republican presidential candidates were exciting the party faithful, but Bush certainly ended up doing so.

Inez Tenenbaum is a pro-abortion, anti-gun Hillary clone. Like almost every other Democrat running for statewide office in a Republican state, she'll find it almost impossible to distance herself from the national party, particularly when the Democratic presidential nominee (probably Howard Dean) is a New England liberal and Bush-hater.

Lee Bandy purports to be non-partisan, but he never met a liberal democrat he didn't like.

He gets some credibility because he has a personal grudge against Fritz Hollings (not a man who is difficult to dislike).

I think DeMint will get the nomination and win the state.
