You know, I am actually glad to see this gal win.
South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley cruised to the Republican nomination for governor tonight, a victory that makes her not just the frontrunner for the office this fall but a likely national GOP star.
Haley crushed Rep. Gresham Barrett in the runoff race, an expected result given that she took 49 percent of the June 8 primary vote — narrowly missing the chance to win the nomination outright. The Associated Press called the runoff race for Haley at 8 p.m. eastern time.
“This is a story about determination, and a story about a movement,” said Haley in her victory speech tonight. “This was the best grassroots, underdog campaign we have ever seen.”
Haley also credited former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who endorsed her candidacy, for giving the campaign a “boost we needed when we needed it.” – Via The Fix – Nikki Haley wins South Carolina primary, Rep. Bob Inglis loses
I bet the blogger who tried smearing this lady feels like a real tool right about now. He ought to, anyone that would try and derail a woman who’s trying to better a state ought to be ran out of that State on a rail. I also bet that racist asshole that called her a rag head is feeling a bit worried right about now.
Here’s hoping that Nikki Haley goes all the way; and puts her 9 inch heal on the throat on the Republican establishment in SC.
