SOUTH CAROLINA: “The South Carolina Supreme Court said Thursday that it will hear arguments in a challenge to the first-in-the-South presidential primary on Nov. 14,” the AP reports. “Last month, four counties sued the state Election Commission and the state Republican and Democratic parties. Beaufort, Chester, Greenville and Spartanburg counties said in their lawsuit that the state lacks the authority to conduct a primary and can’t force them to spend taxpayer money on what they described as private event.”

The Dems "Drive for 25" will be driven into the ditch, by their failed leader Obama.
Don't count on it, Bob. People are angry at everyone in congress expecially the obstructionist party. True, we have a few Dems. that are voting with the GOP and they may be in trouble too. However we do see a glimmer of hope in some of the news that is coming out that the GOP may be softening a little.
Yesterday I read that two Democrats have announced they are running to unseat Senator Snowe (R). Matthew Dunlap was Maine's Sectretary of State and John Hinck is my representaive in the Maine legislature. Both men are bright and capable. Here's hoping one of them can put ole' Olympia ought to pasture.
the pubs will be lucky to win any seats, the way they are selling the majority of americans down the drain!
Am I the only one disturbed the notion that such a campaign will be extremely costly at a time when what is at issue is a lack of revenue, lack of jobs, lack of productivity? Am I the only one who notices that the stated goal of this program has more to do with winning and losing seats than showing any way in which the American electorate will profit or be enhanced. When is everyone going to get the picture that this isn't about what is good for any of us mere peons outside the beltway, outside of the Washington circle, but about making and preserving a power base and priveleged class in government "service" If our political system is truly at impasse, and truly gridlocked....then regardless of which party wins a majority, or wins a particular seat....it still means that at least half the American people are going to hurt and the other half get what they want. Half doesn't reflect a majority by my last visit to grade school math.
