I missed the SC-1 first time, hence the previous self deletion.

Still, SC-1 is highly repuke and some people in this state will vote for anything with an R next to the name!

Having grown up in Charleston and graduated from Carolina in Columbia, I agree that having an ‘R’ next to your name in the state of SC almost means getting elected no matter what. But fortunately there are some blue spots statewide that make sanity possible.

Sadly when I left SC I moved to another red state (and seemingly getting redder) – Missouri! YIKES!

I an eagerly awaiting the results of the election in SC-1 next week. Despite the district being conservative, I think we have a chance to turn it blue. If so, Bravo SC!!!

and welcome to DU.

I am a transplant to SC (marriage) and initially it was quite a culture shock... but there really are lots of "great places and smiling faces" here; and you're right some areas are definitely turning blue.

I say yes we will! I'll bet you a pot of collard greens and raise you some good ol SC bbq - preferably from Piggy Park or Duke's (on James Island)!!!
