Haley Up Big in South Carolina

 The Republican candidate for governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, has opened a wide lead over her Democratic opponent. Haley won a huge primary victory over multiple opponents despite all of the slander leveled against her. Her victory would make her the second Indian-American governor in American history. The poll is from Rasmussen, the most accurate national pollster.

Haley (R): 52%
Sheheen (D): 36%
Other/und: 12%

Up by 16%

Haley's numbers simply show that she's cruising towards an easy victory. Not only is she above 50% but Sheheen can't even break 40%. It would also appear that all of the accusations of misdoing have not stuck and Haley's former role in the administration of Governor Mark Sanford.

South Carolina Republican Primary Results.

Authors' note - Red stands for the winner, Blue stands for the loser.

What an amazing night to be a Conservative Republican in South Carolina:

Gubernatorial Primary - 41 of 46 counties reporting.

Nikki Haley - 212,715 - 64.64%
Gresham Barrett - 116,353 - 35.36%.

1st District House Primary - 5 of 5 counties reporting.

Tim Scott - 46,885 - 68.35%.
Paul Thurmond - 21,706 - 31.65%.

3rd District House Primary - 10 of 10 counties reporting.

Jeff Duncan - 37,300 - 51.50% of the vote.
Richard Cash - 35,129 - 48.50% of the vote.

4th District House Primary - 3 of 4 counties reporting.

Trey Gowdy - 31,110 - 63.97% of the vote.
Rep. Bob Inglis - 17,519 - 36.03% of the vote.

Nikki Haley is on her way to becoming the first female Indian-(from India)-American Governor in United States history, as well as South Carolina's first female Governor in history. And Black Republican Tim Scott defeated the son of a well known segregationist this evening, and is expected to become the first Black Republican Congressman since JC Watts in 2002.

The above mentioned victors are only the first to be announced this evening, however, both represent a new brand of Republicans in the United States; a brand that should be watched with great attention over the next several years.

Also: If Inglis is defeated, he'll become only the second US Congressmen to be kicked out of the House of Representatives this electoral cycle, and just the first Republican.

Update: Representative Bob Inglis has been defeated in his Primary against Trey Gowdy, and becomes only the second US Congressman to be defeated this electoral cycle; the first to be an elected Republican - Conservatism is on the rise my friends, in all Parties.

McMaster Endorsing Haley

South Carolina Gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley has received another boost as state Attorney General Henry McMaster is slated to endorse her. Haley won 49% in the GOP primary last week and expected to face a runoff. This endorsement further bolsters her credibility and lessens the chance that her primary opponent will put up a serious challenge.

However, that was not immediately clear:

The Barrett campaign has mounted an aggressive two-week runoff campaign despite calls from national Republicans for him to concede the race. Reaching 40 percent in a crowded primary is normally considered definitive, Republican operatives say. Haley had been running well ahead in the polls going into the election, but none showed her with such a commanding lead

Haley Up More than 20%

Republican Gubernatorial candidate in South Carolina Nikki Haley has jumped out to a more than 20% lead in a bid to replace disgraced governor Mark Sanford. This comes after Haley was forced into a runoff race with a SC Congressman after polling 49%.

This poll comes from Rasmussen, the most accurate of the polling firms out there. Rasmussen had the most accurate polls in the 2004 and 2008 presidential race.

Haley: 55%
Sheheen: 34%

This does come after the primaries, so Haley could have a jump from this. However, with her hard campaigning and South Carolina's conservative disposition, I expect her to win by at least 15%.

What The Hell is Going on In South Carolina?

All hell appears to be breaking loose in the South Carolina Republican primary, with everyone ganging up on Nikki Haley, the front-runner in the race. Haley, who was endorsed by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, is either a big flirt or the victim of a vicious smear campaign. First, she's been claimed to have had an affair with a blogger, of all people. Next, Haley, of East Indian descent, was called a "raghead" by a fellow Republican. Now there's another claim of a tryst.

"I did not have any intention of going public," Marchant said. "I kept getting calls from different people. I just felt like I owed Andre to disclose it to him. I did not do it until two days after I disclosed it to my wife." 

Marchant said part of the reason he came forward was Haley's categorical denial last week of being unfaithful to her husband. 

"It just gnawed at me to the point I had to confide in my wife and then we both made a joint decision that I was not going to push the issue but that if I was confronted, I was not going to lie about it," Marchant said. 

"It was not an affair. It was just one time," Marchant said. "It was one of those things that happened. ... We just had a one-night indiscretion." 

The one thing that Marchant's claim has is that he apparently had to 'admit' to his wife any wrongdoing. This is starting to get weird. Without evidence, there is nothing to damn Mrs. Haley with, but allegations of this magnitude should come with not only more questions but more proof.

SC Republican calls Nikki Haley a "raghead".

Senator Jake Knotts (R - South Carolina's 23rd Senatorial district) has just characterized Nikki Haley, a strong Conservative Republican woman running for the Republican Nomination in the upcoming Gubernatorial election; as a "raghead", due to her Indian heritage. I cannot describe the feelings going through my bloodstream right now.

As a supporter of Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a fan of Dinesh D'Souza's writings, and as a person who cares more about policy than nationality; I can't believe a fellow Republican would say such a thing about Ms.Haley, a woman of Indian descent. I'm also curious as to if the Senator is aware of Haley's religion: she belongs to the Methodist Church.

Senator Knotts should have to apologize to Nikki Haley immediately, and the South Carolina Republican Party should withhold all possible financial donations his campaign would have received this upcoming election. This makes me sick; how could Republican infighting turn from honest debate to name calling and insults? Sickening. Sickening. Sickening.





Also; Senator Knotts also called the President a "raghead" as well: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0610/SC_Republicans_condemn_raghead_comment.html
