According to the Greenville News, Nikki Haley's poll numbers have been steadily rising.   The upstate, Charleston, and a few other counties will give Haley the election though.  Though I don't agree with everything she's done, I don't think she's a bad minister.  It will be more interesting to see how Lindsay Graham does.  If he wins the primary (which he probably will), then the right Democrat could definitely beat him.

The only way Graham loses the general election is if he gets caught with a live boy or a dead girl in his bed.  His only real worry is  primary race, but his poll numbers among Republicans would have to keep dropping like they have the past couple of months for him to be vulnerable.  Any primary opponent who would be a real threat to him is likely going to need to raise at least a million dollars by the end of the year.

Graham isn't very conservative though.    Some conservatives will stay home, allowing a strong democratic candidate to win.  Though his chances of losing are slim, that's true.  I think Graham has a large amount of funding stored up though, so it will be hard to beat him.  If you live in South Carolina you know what I mean.  Advertisements for him are all over the internet.  Tim Scott is safe though.  Back on topic, Nikki Haley is probably going to win.   She represents an anti federal government (Tea Party) movement which is still fairly popular in South Carolina.  The democratic counties can't really upset the upstate, Charleston, and the other counties won fairly easily by a Republican.

I think it's a stretch to find anything racial in that comment. And even if it was, it's not like a comment like that is really all that foreign in South Carolina, a lot of people there would affirm it.
Right, because SO many people hate Indians or Indian Americans in South Carolina.  That must be why we elected her.
