Gowdy replaced long-time Congressman Bob Inglis, who got teabagged by Gowdy. Inglis is what many would now consider a "moderate" republican, who supports things like scientific facts. The district does contain Greenville, which has a fair number of moderate/left-leaning typs, so the Dems snagging this seat is not out of the realm of possibility. I wouldn't get my hopes up, however.
