SC-Gov: Vincent Sheheen (D) to challenge Gov. Nikki Haley (R) again in 2014

I saw recently that Haley is thinking about retiring.

I've heard that too. Pretty much the only candidate that could make the race easier for Sheheen is Mark Sanford, so I'm depressed.

Sorry but I disagree with you. Maybe Haley is a bit unpopular but I suppose she's not hated so she will easily recover! So an open seat would be the best thing to happen. After all, I don't see the sc pubs nominating a decent republican!

I don't think you'd consider any SC Republican decent, but the GOP has a deep bench.  There are several of the statewide officers who would have at worst no more difficulty than Haley in dealing with Sheheen.  That even includes our Attorney General.  Heck, if the Dems don't run someone against his dad this time I may just write in Alan Wilson to replace his father Joe as the Congressman from the second district.  Alan has proven to be surprisingly competent at his job considering who his father is.

I'm not a hard core democrat, I can find republicans decent. Lindsey Graham is decent for instance. But it's just I think that the tea party is currently dominating the south carolina gop. No one voted for the fiscal cliff deal for instance: http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/112/house/2/659
