South Carolina “Republicans” will gather this week to embrace incumbent Gov. Nikki Haley as their prospective 2014 gubernatorial nominee – and launch a website attacking her likely Democratic opponent, Vincent Sheheen.
The pro-Haley (anti-Sheheen?) rally will be held at SCGOP headquarters in downtown Columbia, S.C. (here) at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
Now … is there any real difference between Haley and Sheheen? At least on bread and butter issues that matter – like taxes, spending and education? Of course not … but this is “two-party South Carolina,” people, and the special interests which run those parties (and run this state into the ground) have a circus to put on.
So let’s pretend this stuff matters for their sake, mmm-kay? Good …
Anyway, “Republicans” will gather to publicize the launch of the website VinceSheheen.com, which we’re told is the GOP’s answer to the anti-Haley site, NikkiHaleyFacts.com.
We’re also told this is another chance for elected officials who failed to show at Haley’s recent sparsely attended campaign kickoff rally in Greenville, S.C. to show their faces in support of the governor’s reelection bid.
“(Haley political advisor) Kurt Pickhardt will be there making a list of who shows and who doesn’t,” one GOP operative told us.
The show of force is designed to put the kibosh on rumors of a possible primary challenge against Haley – who has alienated fiscally conservative Republicans and Tea Partiers by marching hard to the ideological left shortly after her 2010 election.
Will it work? We’ll find out ..

You beat me to it! I am a Republican and will NEVER vote for Haley again. I would also ask my fellow Republicans to do the same. We desperately need change in Washington and here in SC. Our, so called Republicans are shameful, disgraceful and an embarrassment!
I agree 100%!!
VOTE NIKKI HALEY OUt!
Reading something like this concerns me that no one, in the GOP, will run against her, however, that whole part about taking names of those that do not show up to support Haley is the type of thing that backfires in a way that starts a conflagration of opposition that can unseat even a popular governor. For those of you that state you won’t vote for Haley find someone you can support and try to help them in any way you can.
“conflagration of opposition that can unseat even a popular governor” – I think we’re way past that now. When a FITS survey has Sheehan taking 54% and Haley getting 32% – with everyone else sitting out – we’re there.
This comment was geared more towards the primary. Haley got less than 60k more votes than Vinny but that’s only a 30k margin. If she wins the primary we may well see a Democrat governor. The way things have been going the Republicans we have been getting aren’t much, if any, better than the Democrats.
Really and they think Queen Haley is better? That is whats wrong with this state if you say you are a Republican then by all means you are the best candidate. Surely the Republicans can pick someone to run against Haley.

This should work out well, given Haley’s great record (unemployment) and successes (like the great Savannah sell-out). Maybe she can get a few thousand Longshoremen to show up from Charleston.
I agree with others – maybe 30 folks show up, maily hobos looking for free food.
