PPP’s latest on the South Carolina Governor’s race doesn’t even cover the Democrats. The assumption must be that Vincent Sheheen has it wrapped up, I suppose. So, on to the Republican side, where Nikki Haley hopes to win an absolute majority and avoid a runoff.
I didn’t address State Sen. Jake Knotts’ “raghead” comments earlier, because I had little to say to the refuted man, save for some rather colorful words. Today, he proved himself even more odious than even first thought. Via Hot Air (emphasis theirs): He claims she is hiding her religion and he wants the voters to know about it. “We got a raghead in Washington; we | Read More »
Earlier today, while Aaron was combing through his morning emails, one particular email stood out. Folks, Aaron can’t divulge his sources for the picture he was emailed, but he guarantees its authenticity. In the picture you can clearly see Willy Folks, Larry Marchant, Nikki Haley (in the top hat), and Andre Bauer. Clearly there was an inappropriate relationship. Aaron B. Gardner
I got a lot of flack for stringing the media along last week Will Folks style. Even some good friends thought I was grasping at straws and my case for pointing the finger at Andre Bauer was too nebulous. Guess what? Following up on Moe, Andre Bauer fired his campaign consultant Larry Marchant yesterday. Why? Well, let’s back up. Will Folks and Larry Marchant are | Read More »

You should watch the entire thing… See also Hot Air and Ace of Spades. [And here's some useful AmSpec background.] [And check out the | Read More »
[UPDATE] Prove it, Larry. And no looking at Willy Folks’ test paper, either. Bye, Larry Marchant! [South Carolinian] Republican gubernatorial hopeful Andre Bauer said today he has asked for and received the resignation of a political consultant for “inappropriate conduct” but would say little more. Lt. Gov. Bauer announced that adviser Larry Marchant gave him his resignation at noon today. (Via CCP Blog) Funny how | Read More »
InsiderAdvantage polled for Statehouse Report the South Carolina primaries for Governor, and while the necessity of a runoff makes the long term future uncertain, the frontrunners in each race are clear: Nikki Haley and Vincent Sheheen.
“The problem is that any time you have a largely uninformed and uneducated electorate, that kind of lowest common denominator mudslinging can be effective.” — Will Folks. We’ve been dragging on and on all week led by Will Folks on a never ending wild goose chase of the salacious in South Carolina. The media, more national press than local press, has gone along willingly on | Read More »
Having attended a speech of Nikki Haley’s in Atlanta last year, her run for Governor of South Carolina is one I’ve followed. Living here, I’ve also watched the California Senate race. Both situations seemed to be stable: Haley was stuck in fourth, while in California Tom Campbell was staying ahead of second place Carly Fiorina.
