So this is why you moved to SC ...warmer in winter, golfing...fishing..etc. :)

I wish the Republicans in Ohio were having the same trouble. With all the tax-and-spend RINOs and wimpy De - whine - o's here we might wish for similar trouble just to clean up the party. Exception: GO KEN BLACKWELL!

A Superintendent of Education declines to run for office and it's the end of life as we know it? Who knew they even had a S of E? Or that it was an elective post? It that's what has all SC democrats gasping then

1. they're effectively out of state politics anyway, and
2. there's probably not very many of them to begin with.

My sister lives in Simpsonville, near Greenville, aka Jim Demint country. The Democratic Party is essentially dead in "Upcountry" South Carolina.

Maybe this explains why Lindsey Grayed Ham feels so bold in taking such liberal steps--he doesn't think anything can happen to him in his home state.

The same things can be said of the Republican Party in states like MA,VT,RI and at least a few others.The difference,however,is that SC's population is growing while the population of states like MA,NY,PA and IL are sinking fast!BWAHAHAHA!

SC's State Treasurer is an 81-yr-old Democrat??? It certainly must not take much to hold that job! It should probably be abolished as a money-saving gesture.

Ping!

So much for the famed "Dixie Chick". Last year, the media bragged about how RATS will rise again in the South by recruiting educated, white Southern women to run for office. Jim DeMint, despite a horrible debate performance on Meet The Press, still won by 10 points. It goes to show the GOP strength in South Carolina. With the state becoming a mono-party state, hopefully African-Americans will stop wasting their votes on RATS and give Republicans another look.

Awwwww, who is Emily's List going to support in SC now? It's hard to believe the entire SC demonrat party pivoted on Tennenbaum. I guess they thought if they couldn't control the politics they could at least control the next generation via the Dept of Education.

I hope the SC rhinos will reconsider their war against Sanford. A lot of them are upset about their "business as usual" being unusual. Some of them are very respected "republicans" who have invested in Depends undergarments lately. Most of us dont' care what you call yourselves. If you're a liar and a thief when the sun comes up, then usually you're a liar and thief when the sun goes down. South Carolinians don't have a whole lot in common with the republican party. The RNC has become a big business just like the NRA and NAACP.

Apparently she's no fool. She took a pretty good ass kicking last time, and it looks like she's smart enough to shy away from another one next year. Look, like in Florida and Georgia, the rat party in South Carolina is dead. It is a thing of the past. Period.
