I told you so. CNN is confirming what I’ve said since before election results were in Tuesday night. Jim DeMint is not going to endorse in the South Carolina runoff. Gresham Barrett has been touting his ties to DeMint and sending out mail with them on it together. He has been suggesting and expecting an endorsement. That will not come. Considering the two are close | Read More »
I realize they don’t like getting beaten by a woman and Nikki Haley is the first woman in South Carolina to get so far, but Gresham Barrett is off to a rough start in the runoff. First Barrett says character is all that counts: “Character is not one of the things that matters,” he said. “It’s the only thing that matters.” Then he immediately tells | Read More »
They called Nikki Haley a whore. They called her a raghead. Now they better start practicing calling her Governor. Nikki Haley came within a percentage point or two of avoiding a runoff for the Republican nomination in South Carolina. Despite all the smears and all the foul play, she is a winner. The second place finisher, Congressman Gresham Barrett, goes into the runoff roughly 27% | Read More »
Gresham Barrett is trotting around South Carolina alluding to a Jim DeMint endorsement to combat Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney endorsing Nikki Haley. There’s just one problem. Jim DeMint has not endorsed Gresham Barrett. In fact, DeMint has been upfront about staying out of the primary and I cannot imagine him endorsing Gresham Barrett over a conservative rockstar like Nikki Haley. This is an act | Read More »
From the Political Wire, we learn Nikki Haley will resign if the allegations against her are proven true. Host: “If something comes out after you win the primary, or after you win the general election become South Carolina’s next governor, if something were to come out that validates the claims that have been made against you — in terms of stepping out on your husband | Read More »
Well, Andre Bauer’s campaign to paint Nikki Haley as a two-timing wh*re — and you’ll have to forgive me if you object to the word, but that is exactly what the dribbling out of “I slept with Nikki Haley” stories was designed to do — blew up in his face. Now he’s moved on to her being a raghead. What’s funny is that the same | Read More »
She has out a new ad. She needs money to keep it up on the air in South Carolina. GO HERE AND DONATE.
I can’t say that I am surprised by the level of aggravation and acrimony in the comments of my “Letting the Chips Fall” post. I certainly promised more than I delivered. You should have seen the first six drafts. They were much better. For the few cheery souls remaining, I appreciate that you got the point — it’s exactly what Will Folks has been doing, | Read More »
Without a guilty plea for beating a woman, but with a Devil May Care attitude, RedState.com’s fearless editor, Erick Erickson, endeavoring to write about himself in the third person, though omniscient or limited is still up for grabs, will now proceed to dish out the dough and let the chips fall where they may in the whole sordid affair in South Carolina. Only today did | Read More »
Who paid Will Folks? He was allegedly offered money. A LOT of money. In fact, RedState now confirms through a whole heap of sources that he’s been trying to sell this story for a year. We know who bit. We know who didn’t bite. We know who paid Will Folks to push this story out there. Oh, and you guys in the media, you’ve let | Read More »
“They’ve strung up Nikki Haley — skipping the issues, skipping the ethics, skipping experience, and going straight to calling her a whore. But they’ve shown nothing.” It was Clarence Thomas who talked about the high tech lynching the left put him through during his confirmation battle. The left went straight for the pubic hair on the coke can — forget everything about his qualifications, intelligence, | Read More »
Truth be told, I’ve wanted to be delicate in other South Carolina races because I haven’t wanted people to think my candidates are somehow Nikki Haley’s candidates too. They most certainly are not, but I know some people may think otherwise. There are, however, a couple of other races in South Carolina that are on my radar. One is the Lt. Governor’s race and Bill | Read More »
Ben Smith of the Politico called Will Folks “credible” when the “inappropriate physical relationship” story broke. Michael Brendan Doughtery called him “revered” and said “His reputation since leaving the governor’s office has only increased. He has become South Carolina’s essential political blogger.” Like the only two movie critics quoted on a movie scoring 5% at Rotten Tomatoes, those quotes may come back to . . | Read More »
Friends, we cannot let our friend down in a time of great need. Nikki needs money ASAP to get new ads on television to combat the sleazy smears against her. Join Sarah Palin and RedState in supporting Nikki Haley. By the way, Nikki now has a 20 point lead in South Carolina, which is why they are going after her with sleaze. Let’s not let | Read More »
No one cared about Nikki Haley when she was in third place in South Carolina — no one, that is, except RedState and Sarah Palin. Now guess what? Nikki Haley is in first place with a double digit lead over the number two candidate. Rasmussen has her at 11 points up. So what do they do? A blogger claims he has an “inappropriate physical relationship” | Read More »
Last week I was tipped off to the panic in the South Carolina House and Senate Republican Caucuses. The leadership had a private meeting to see what could be done to take out Nikki Haley. She spent her years in the legislature fighting the good old boys, even within her own party. She demanded transparency and won. They don’t like her. Well, with Rasmussen now | Read More »
Big thanks to Lake Crazy for the awesome pictures of the event. I was not exactly in a position to take any. I went over yesterday to South Carolina and introduced Nikki Haley at her rally with Sarah Palin. It was a terrific experience. Sarah Palin really is a terrific lady. So too is South Carolina’s next Governor, Nikki Haley. Friends, we have a lot | Read More »
I’m headed to Columbia, SC where tomorrow Sarah Palin will officially endorse Nikki Haley for Governor. This is huge news. We at RedState have pushed for this for months and it is finally happening. Internal polling in South Carolina shows the momentum is seriously with Nikki Haley and she is moving into second place rapidly toward first place. LET’S GET NIKKI ELECTED.
You made your pledge, now lets fund Nikki Haley and blow up South Carolina in a very good way. I’m in for $500.00 because I believe in Nikki Haley. I believe we need leaders like her at the state level. And I believe if we can get leaders like Nikki elected, more will follow at the local, state, and federal level. Let’s blow up the | Read More »
