S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley will have a credible, well-funded Republican primary opponent in 2014
that much you can count on. And if things continue as they are, well be honest its unlikely that she will survive the challenge.
1-CURTIS LOFTIS || State Treasurer (hates Haley & won big policy battle with her. Bitter feud.)
2-MICK MULVANEY || U.S. Representative (Way right nut. Mean!)
3-TOM DAVIS || State Senator (Tea Party leader. Old Sanford ally.)
4-TIM SCOTT || U.S. Representative (1st modern African-American Rethugs elected to high office)
5-ALAN WILSON || S.C. Attorney General (son of Rep. Joe 'You Lie' Wilson)

(this is a conservative site with libertarian leanings. Info always interesting)
This bunch looks like they were hatched from eggs laid by the current GOPeas presidential candidates. What maroons!
This is going to be interesting. Another GOPeas intraparty snake pit! Politics is a contact sport here.
Hang On!

(17,111 posts)There are 2 groups of Dems right now. The old shites who ran the party as their club and let everything go to hell is one group. Then there is new reform group. In addition, there is a progressive group wandering around.
There was a decent candidate last time. He agreed that he was a little too nice.
Have to wait and see.
