Nikki Haley in Oppositions Crosshairs: a Good Sign for Nikki and South Carolina!
Well, whaddya know? South Carolinas conservative candidate, Nikki Haley, recently zipped to the front of the line in her states race for governor; and lo and behold, now accusations of an affair surface.
Nikki categorically denies the accusation that was spewed out there by a political blogger who has the gall to throw the stone, but then quickly duck and hide and proclaim he would not comment further on the issue. Quite convenient.
When Nikki and I held her endorsement rally on the steps of the beautiful and historic South Carolina state house a few weeks ago, I warned her and her family that she would be targeted because shes a threat to a corrupt political machine, and she would be put through some hell. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the beast in politics today especially for conservative underdog candidates who surge in the polls and threaten to shake things up so government can be put back on the side of the people.
South Carolina: dont let some blogger make any accusation against your Nikki if the guy doesnt even have the guts or the integrity to speak further on such a significant claim. And dont believe anything a liberal rag claims or suggests unless the reporter involved has the integrity and the facts to report to you so you can make up your own mind. For traditional media to rely on an accusation via some blog entry is almost laughable, but I know the seriousness of it because thats exactly what my family and colleagues have had to put up with, every single day, for the past couple of years.
As I said to Nikki this morning, Hang in there. Ive been there. Any lies told about you will strengthen your resolve to clean up political and media corruption. You and your supporters will grow stronger through things like this.
Reaching her from Wasilla, I then joked with Nikki that I was calling her from one of the many locations the lamestream media claims I moved to. (Lets see, I think the last I heard I was living in the Hamptons, or was it Montana? No, supposedly L.A. is where they claim I moved when I left Todd in their idiotic reports.)
South Carolina friends, dont let em just make things up.

She is President now and I cannot wait to vote for her......Not a single person in this country can come near her...Please God, watch over Madam President
Thank you so much for the link.
TV reception went out here (T-storm) so I listened to the entire interview.
She’ll make a great governor. She’s resolute. I like her.
Sarah picked another GOOD one.
The media has not figured out how to attack women the way they do men.
I want to know WHICH of Nikki Haley’s 4 Republican Opponents made this garbage happen. We need evidence, and we need to EXPOSE him and make sure his “career” in SC and US politics is OVER, PERMANENTLY. PERIOD.
Well said, Sarah!
In his original blog post on this topic, Will Folk claims to be a Haley supporter, but that he is admitting the affair upfront because it was in the process of coming out anyway. Here is what he wrote:
In fact, on a very personal level I have become the primary target of a group that will apparently stop at nothing to destroy the one S.C. gubernatorial candidate who, in my opinion, would most consistently advance the ideals I believe in. For those of you unfamiliar with the editorial bent of this website, the candidate I am referring to is S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley.This network of operatives has made it abundantly clear that in the process of taking down Rep. Haley, they will also stop at nothing to humiliate me, destroy my family and take a sizable chunk out of the credibility this website has managed to amass for itself. Such is the blood sport of S.C. politics, I suppose particularly in the wake of the scandal that consumed my former boss, Gov. Mark Sanford.
Specifically, within the last forty-eight hours several pieces of information which purportedly document a prior physical relationship between myself and Rep. Haley have begun to be leaked slowly, piece by piece, to members of the mainstream media. I am told that at least one story based upon this information will be published this week. Watching all of this unfold, I have become convinced that the gradual release of this information is deliberately designed to advance this story in the press while simultaneously forcing either evasive answers or denials on my part or on Nikkis part.
I refuse to play that game. I refuse to have someone hold the political equivalent of a switch-blade in front of my face and just sit there and watch as they cut me to pieces.
The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki.
Thats it.
I will not be discussing the details of that relationship, nor will I be granting any additional interviews about it to members of the media beyond what I have already been compelled to confirm.
Nikki Haley BUMP!
She’s going to half to be tough going up against both the Rats and the Good old’ boy Republicans.......She’s got the stuff..Hopefully South Carolinians will vote for her.......HALEY/PALIN 20112

9% (12) Barrett
8% (11) Bauer
OH GOOD!
She got over 50%!
Thanks!!!!
You know, often you can’t always tell the “source” of a “smell”. So “guessing” is necessary to find the source. But this one “smells” like Andre Bauer. HE HAS PROVEN HE WILL DO ANYTHING to get ahead. Mark Sanford’s affair was not a good thing, but guess who exposed it, poured just a few gallons of gasoline on the fire and threw in the match. Good old Andre. Can’t prove it, it my mind I don’t need to. But it sure “smells” like the source. And guess who’s running against Nikki? Yep ... same “smelly” guy.
