I've seen a lot of speculative maps in the What-ifs and Trends sections of the forum where SC is tossup or D sometime after the next decade, which seems to contradict what little I know about this (very conservative) state. Is this state actually trending D or likely to do so? If so, why and what demographics/areas are causing this?
I haven't noticed anything like this. The State is very Conservative and will elect whoever runs as a Republican. They couldn't even elect a very Conservative Democrat in 2008 to the Senate.
