Still, the ‘Rats can boast that they made inroads, and the MSM will probably play up as if that’s a reflection of Zero’s “soaring” popularity.
Only %4 less than Mitt got is great result given the ire against Sanford, it was all because of that, this wasn’t close enough for them to boast. The strongest possible candidate for the seat, Thurmond’s son, would have won by 20 points in this turnout, he didn’t run though.
Despite the smaller overall % than Mitt Sanford actually took every country in the district, Mitt lost 2 including Charleston.
Of course I realize after writing that Romney lost the whole of Charleston county, the Black portion is not in this district of course, so naturally Romney won the portion that is in it.
