According to South Carolina Republican Party Chairman, and FOX News who is hosting the GOP debate; only those candidates who have met certain criteria will be allowed on stage.  The result could be the symbolic end of a number of Presidential campaigns, in South Carolina at least.  With the debate taking place so early in the Primary season (May), many […]

 
The Lexington County GOP held their county convention today and also conducted a Presidential straw poll.  Despite being one of the most solidly red counties in the country and a critical vote contributor in South Carolina, there were no candidates present.  However there are a few notes worth mentioning.  Let’s start with the results of […]

We sure are glad National Journal broke up with us because we would hate to be affiliated with them right now.
Pretty boy John Mercurio believes that South Carolina is no longer important in the presidential primaries. No seriously, that’s what he said.  Click here to see.

John McCain ain’t the only one with a new website design.  His best bud Senator Lindsey Graham has one too.
We dont know when it was launched, but it must have been pretty recently.
It’s a great looking site with awesome graphics.  And it would be a perfect website 2 cycles ago, but its not 2 cycles […]
