The real wingnuts hate him. He will likely get primaried. Unfortunately, it will be by a teabagger. Who wins that primary, and who wins the general will all depend on who gets out and votes. If lots of Dems show up for the general, it could be a good year for South Carolina regardless of who the rethugs run. Nikki Haley's term is also ending, and she is not well-loved here, either. Not even by her own party. Get a couple of good Dems running, and we might be in for a couple of pick-ups.
