Saying goodbye is never easy, but the time has come for me to inform you that I will be leaving South Carolina to pursue an exciting new career opportunity with Newt Gingrich’s organization American Solutions. South Carolina is truly a wonderful place, and I’ve been fortunate enough to make hundreds of friends and work with some of the brightest political minds in the country.
This past Saturday, Barack Obama made an unscheduled stop during the day of the South Carolina Primary at the Columbia YMCA. He wasn’t there to try to pick up more votes, but rather to just play a few games of basketball.
Jonathan Yarborough, a former Bush 2000 campaign staffer who went on to work at the White House and manage Gresham Barrett’s Congressional campaign, was at the YMCA working out when he noticed Obama playing a game of three-on-three. Curious to see how well the presidential contender played ball, Yarborough went to the other end of the court to just to shoot around and watch. That’s when Barack said in his deep voice, “I want to play some five-on-five.”
Obama then pointed to Yarborough and asked “Do you want to play?”
We tried to make a similar point last week, when we outlined why Huckabee was tearing the Republican Coalition to shreds and that he was “woefully inept” when it came to grasping issues.
Two days AFTER the South Carolina Republican Primary, Representative Joe Wilson (SC-02) is set to endorse his long time foe, John McCain, for President. (more…)
Due to the malfunction of voting machines in the Myrtle Brach area, the McCain campaign has filed a lawsuit with a circuit court judge to keep the polls open for an additional two hours.
McCain’s voting base is particularly strong along the coast, and the judge’s ruling could decide this closely contested election.
Idiot!

Pretty solid hit from the Rudy media team. Gotta love Rudy’s little smirk at the end. Sweet.
