Gov. Haley Orders Coast Evacuation, Declares State of Emergency

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has ordered an evacuation of many coastal communities and cancelled school in over half of the state in advance of Hurricane Matthew.

An estimated 1.1 million could have to leave their homes, Haley said.

"With winds this high and surge this high, this is not something we want to play with," Haley said. "I don't want to sit there and talk about fatalities. Our goal is to save anybody we can."

Haley said the medical evacuations began Tuesday, and general evacuations are set to start at 3 p.m Wednesday Schools and government offices in the Lowcountry are also closed.

Lane reversals will also begin at that time. (You can see a list of evacuation zones at the bottom of this article)

Haley has also declared a state of emergency, a move that allows her to call up the national guard.

Obama Sees "Straight Line" from Sarah Palin to Donald Trump

President Barack Obama said that the beginnings of Donald Trump's unlikely rise to power can be found in the Republican party's embrace of Sarah Palin in 2008 when she ran for vice president, according to an interview with New York Magazine published Monday.

"I see a straight line from the announcement of Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee to what we see today in Donald Trump, the emergence of the Freedom Caucus, the tea party, and the shift in the center of gravity for the Republican Party," Obama said in the wide-ranging interview with New York's Jonathan Chait. "Whether that changes, I think, will depend in part on the outcome of this election, but it's also going to depend on the degree of self-reflection inside the Republican Party."

I think my neighbor is conflicted looking at their yard signs

I just took the dog for a walk and noticed a house around the corner from us has a sign for Trump and another for Stien.

Either they are conflicted, or don't realize they are running for the same office.

Unless the man never leaves the house, I think it is a single woman living there, I have met her walking dogs and already thought she was a little off, this would confirm it.

How many more Kahns and Machados does the Hillary Clinton campaign have?

How many more times can Hillary present someone who Trump will not be able to stop attacking because they are normal people calling him on his racism, sexism, or other hate?

If they can keep presenting a different person every few weeks, Trump will surely implode completely before the election.

Hillary Clinton Gets Gored (as in Al Gore)

Americans of a certain age who follow politics and policy closely still have vivid memories of the 2000 election — bad memories, and not just because the man who lost the popular vote somehow ended up in office. For the campaign leading up to that end game was nightmarish too.

You see, one candidate, George W. Bush, was dishonest in a way that was unprecedented in U.S. politics. Most notably, he proposed big tax cuts for the rich while insisting, in raw denial of arithmetic, that they were targeted for the middle class. These campaign lies presaged what would happen during his administration — an administration that, let us not forget, took America to war on false pretenses.

Yet throughout the campaign most media coverage gave the impression that Mr. Bush was a bluff, straightforward guy, while portraying Al Gore — whose policy proposals added up, and whose critiques of the Bush plan were completely accurate — as slippery and dishonest. Mr. Gore’s mendacity was supposedly demonstrated by trivial anecdotes, none significant, some of them simply false. No, he never claimed to have invented the internet. But the image stuck.

And right now I and many others have the sick, sinking feeling that it’s happening again.

True, there aren’t many efforts to pretend that Donald Trump is a paragon of honesty. But it’s hard to escape the impression that he’s being graded on a curve. If he manages to read from a TelePrompter without going off script, he’s being presidential. If he seems to suggest that he wouldn’t round up all 11 million undocumented immigrants right away, he’s moving into the mainstream. And many of his multiple scandals, like what appear to be clear payoffs to state attorneys general to back off investigating Trump University, get remarkably little attention.

Meanwhile, we have the presumption that anything Hillary Clinton does must be corrupt, most spectacularly illustrated by the increasingly bizarre coverage of the Clinton Foundation.
