1. Thanks.

[onehandle]

2. If the Green Party candidate makes the difference in Sanford's favor...

...I will not be nice about it.

[angstlessk]

3. I agree..of all places to present a green party candidate...bet the GOP

funded his/her candidacy...grrr!

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

7. Look at it this way. As long as there's a left of center third party candidate in any race

party hacks such as yourself will always have a convenient excuse for losing. Must never blame defeat on a right wing electorate, or a weak Dem running a shitty, uninspired campaign!

32. Congrats on 1000 posts!

And what a GREAT post it is!




I agree with you.

4. Thanks.... but it's still early.

Is Colbert Busch expected to do well in the urban areas?

[KamaAina]

5. I believe the district is centered around Charleston

Colbert grew up in nearby James Island. So I'm guessing the Fightin' 1st consists of Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and then lots of less urbanized places in the Low Country that are likely to vote the straight Appalachian Trail ticket.

6. great link... just watched it rock towards Liz . .n/t

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

8. Charleston County is starting to report, and Elizabeth has the lead with 3% reporting!

Let's keep it that way!!!

[elleng]

10. She's up 59 to 40% in Charleston now,

making her overall 53 to 46. She's also up 56 to 43% in Dorchester. Beaufort not reporting at the moment.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

12. Hopefully she can continue to dominate in Charleston

And stay competitive in the suburban areas. That is her key to winning tonight!

[elleng]

22. Her lead in Charleston is shrinking.

She's down overall 45 to 53.

[annabanana]

9. funny . .Dorchester says 0% reporting, yet there

are results posted (go Elizabeth)

[elleng]

11. Nope, she's up 56 to 43% in Dorchester!

Beaufort not reporting.

[annabanana]

14. Well.. it *says* 0% under the word Dorchester..

not sure why

[elleng]

16. Not here!

13. Look at the shape of that district. Gerrymandering at its finest.

[lindysalsagal]

15. 54 to 45!!! Not even close!!

Hope it holds.

[angstlessk]

17. I am SOOO hopefull..but we all went to sleep thinking Gore won...

[elleng]

20. And he DID!

[elleng]

19. Darn, Beaufort 46 - 52% san up.

Cumulative 49 - 50 for ELIZ now!

[Wednesdays]

21. Sanford ahead by ~500 votes

28% reporting

[Wednesdays]

23. Sanford ahead by 5000 now

42% in.

[sweetloukillbot]

24. Looks like the Red Countys/precincts are mostly in

But the blue ones are barely counted yet.

[Mutiny In Heaven]

25. Sanford has got this.

It will be close so far as this district goes, but I don't see where the votes are going to come from now. Sanford is up even in Charleston with 41% reporting.

[lindysalsagal]

30. Yup. Boys will be boys. Morals be screwed: We're not puttin a librul in office.

No way, no how.

[Hokie]

26. South Carolina Republicans would vote for a dog turd

...as long is the turd had an (R) next to his name - and they just did.

[GitRDun]

27. That has to be the dumbest Congressional district in the country!

The fact that Congress is so screwed up is the voters fault...we keep putting the creeps in there...UGH!

[Beaverhausen]

28. There's another thread about ballots being tossed out if people voted for her twice

she is listed on the ballot twice for some reason, and if people voted for her both times, their ballot is tossed.

this is fucked!

29. Remind Me To Skip Any Future Visits To S.C.

CNN just projects "family values" sanford will win.

Enjoy your choice. You deserve each other.

31. Reminds me of Florida in so many ways.

I'll never figure out what makes people vote against their own best interests.
