South Carolina Latest Anti Establishment Voters!
Author: Independent-voter
06 22nd, 2010Way to go SC! We are proud of you.
State Rep. Nikki Haley resoundingly won the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial runoff late Tuesday, besting a four-term U.S. House member on a night when voters in several states demonstrated the continued strength of this year’s anti-establishment wave.
Mrs. Haley took one step closer to becoming the state’s first female governor and the second Indian-American governor in the nation. She withstood last-minute allegations of marital infidelity, as well as doubt sowed in some circles about the sincerity of her 1996 conversion to Christianity and the depth of her appreciation for the state’s Civil War history.
South Carolina voters also made history Tuesday by selecting Tim Scott as the GOP nominee to succeed U.S. Rep. Henry Brown in the coastal First District. Mr. Scott defeated Paul Thurmond, the son of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, in Tuesday’s runoff by a 2-to-1 margin. If elected, as expected, in the GOP-leaning district against nominal opposition, he will be the first black Republican in Congress since Rep. J.C. Watts (R., Okla.) retired in 2003.
