Palmetto Proving Grounds

Exactly! I had an extremely hard time voting for that b!%@# last time, but rest assured, even though I'm a dyed in the wool Republican, she will NEVER get my vote again! She has Sarah Palin to thank for helping her to become the "Popular" Republican candidate last time. She has as much business being Governor of South Carolina as my Cat does.

Who said it would be a democrat?

this. Slive will get who he wants. if its clemson we will go along. if its not clemson then our governor wont be able to change that. we would give public support and then the sec still wouldnt invite them. it wont be clemson unless we just cant add another state and are desperate to get to 16.

The fact that a Clemson Alum and possible Tater Club Donator can sit on our BOT and control others members of our BOT should be changed. I understand why the legislature/governor wants to because we are getting state funds and they want a voice on how it's used and to keep an eye on it. But there should be a better way. Especially when that POS came to Billy B decked out in all Orange sitting in the governors box. Not to mention the former Rep. Who went on his rant about Carolina publicly and I believe she nominated him for a state post. Might need help confirming that last point.

As far as UVA/Va. tech. Their rivalry is not even close to ours with Clemson. I grew up in Va. And their rivalry always goes back to UVA's supposed academic superiority. Those elitists always fall back on that

First time I've ever voted Democrat. Feel justified in having done so.

If romney wins, she will be gone. Most likely a cabinet position but she wants out of sc bc she knows she is toast in two years

General "messing" with USC, replacing Darla Moore on BOT, openly supporting one school over the other, hanging orange curtains in the press box at Williams Brice, writing a book instead of leading her state.

Wow....those are all such important reasons.

So you voted for Obama's SC Campaign manager instead of Haley? Do you realize that Sheheen would not have supported SC's lawsuit against Obamacare? Do you realize that Sheheen would be supporting NLRB's lawsuit against Boeing? Do you realize that Sheheen would never support an initiative for Voter ID? Unless you're a liberal in the first place - in which case I know you're not too bright - you're a shining example of why we used to have literacy requirements for voting and still should.

And for the rest of you, even orange curtains in Williams Brice are not as important as those other issues which Haley supported. I can only hope that you don't show up to vote this November 7.

You're a testament for why the grand experiment of self governance is failing.

no way USC goes along with Clemson to SEC. They bring nothing to the league. We already bring the small SC market. CU adds nothing. They are not a powerhouse football team. WVA proved that and then some. They bring no instant basketball credibility. Mizzou and TAMU both bring a lot more to the conference that the Clemmers.

The SEC would give them money, a powerful recruiting bump and a terrific home schedule each year. I placve of Duke, Coastal Carolina, Wofford, Maryland, NC State, etc. etc., they'd be facing 5 SEC East + 3 SEC West opponents each yr. That's something to look forward to mas a fan. Currently they only have 1 or 2 homes games a yr. a serious fan would consider toss ups.

Those are th sae reasons FSU nor Miami will join or GT for that matter. Fla. & UGA will make it impossible. AND they should. The teams add nothing.

If the SEC were to expoand again, by 2 or 4 teams here's who makes sense.
If 2, Oklahoma, Texas.
If 4, Olahoma & Oklahoma St + Texas & UNC.

All you guys that just vote party instead of actually learning about the individual candidates are a huge part of the problem. I'm not going to mince words -- if you voted for Haley, you are an IDIOT. Her incompetency was clearly apparent long before she took office. South Carolina is held back from becoming more regionally and nationally relevant largely because of the horrific politicians that continue to be elected. Fresh off Sanford's glorious run, I might've thought some of you guys would say it's time to quit electing the trash the GOP nominates to lead the state. If Haley's tenure actually gets a large number of people to wake up and look at the real facts and figures (and, hell, just general intelligence), maybe it will end up being a positive development in the long run.

Her approval rate is 34% in this state. A good Democrat COULD beat her. It would have to be someone better than Jim Hodges but it could and will happen. I have talked to so many Republicans who cannot stand her. Darla Moore could beat her tomorrow if she could create jobs in this state and not play political cronyism.
