I hate races like this. My family knows Henry Brown and we've respected him for years, but I've also met Katherine Jenerette and think she would be a good choice for that office. Why does it always work out that in politics we usually end up with two great choices in some contests or none?

Right. I'm in the 6th district, represented by Jim Clyburn (D)

Aside from his age, why is Brown being challenged on the GOP side at all ?

The photo on your FRProfile no longer works — nor does its source on your website... You need to fix that!

I'm not in the 1st district so I don't really know anything about Brown.

This is from Katherine's press release: “I know Congressman Brown to be a dedicated and hard worker,” Jenerette said “But, Washington is a far different place today than it was with a Republican majority in both Houses and our district here in South Carolina has changed tremendously over the years.”

“Times have changed,” Jenerette continued. “And our times call for a Congressman to represent our district who has the stamina to push for the people of South Carolina and to go toe-to-toe with the Democrats in general and people like Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi specifically.”

She has the fight that most Republicans lack. Conservatives need a scorched earth policy to regain power.

Problem is, Brown has 8 years seniority (that’s not that long, Congressionally-speaking) and dumping that overboard in favor of someone who will be the most junior member of the minority party isn’t well advised. If Brown had a bad voting record, that would be one thing, but it’s not the case here. We need to put this kind of energy into knocking off Democrats and RINOs, not good Conservative Republicans. Our priority in SC needs to be taking out John Spratt and Lindsey Graham. Bob Inglis should probably go, too. Way too squishy.

Inglis was OK until he voted with Gilchrest and Latoilette for the surrender bill.

"Charleston City Paper"

Nice simple and humble-sounding name for a newspaper....especially if you've lived in cities where they have long glorious sounding names, and their output is still the equivalent of kitty-litter for parakeets.

Makes me wonder if Henry isn’t going to be announcing for a certain Senatorial seat...

a certain Senatorial seat...

It would be good if he would, but if that were the case I don't think Katherine would have said,"...our times call for a Congressman...who has the stamina to push for the people of South Carolina and to go toe-to-toe with the Democrats in general and people like Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi specifically."

Her press release also mentions meetings with GOP officials in DC and here in SC. I suspect there are more then a few people that feel Henry is "place holding" a safe GOP seat.

What do we know about "Charleston businessman Paul Norris" that filed first?

I am stunned by this news.
I won’t post the obvious questions as I’m sure they would instantly be deleted.

She’s not viable with all of the weird family issues going on between her daughter and her husband.

The SC-01 isn’t as GOP as the districts in Up Country. I really hope a primary battle won’t create an opening for the Dems. With the bad luck hitting conservatives these days, conservaitves just might figure out how to lose a safe GOP seat.

I’m upstate anyways, but would it be politically incorrect to interject a “hubba hubba?”

Brown had promised to limit himself to three terms. Also, he’s long in the tooth and should have retired. This could be more than a token challenge, as the Jenerette name is rather prominent in South Carolina.
