CHARLESTON, S.C. — South Carolina’s lone black Republican state representative is heading to a GOP congressional runoff against the son of the late Strom Thurmond, a politician most remembered for his support of segregation.

Charleston state Rep. Tim Scott got the most votes Tuesday to advance to the June 22 runoff. He faces Paul Thurmond, a Charleston County councilman and son of the late U.S. senator.

Palin is SOOOOOO awesome...especially in light of all the revelations of sexism and outright bigotry the ole-boys club of the SC GOP have been unveiling in light of Nikki Haley’s success. The way she’s been moving and shaking up the Party establishment is remarkable to witness...

What a captivating time in our nation’s political history!

Is Tim Scott a conservative or a RINO?
