No article or snippet- just my own random thoughts.

This race is a three way race, the third party being a Libertarian.

All are women.

Nobody really votes for Libertarians in large numbers, they usually serve to split the vote.

Graham/Nordone is a very easy candidate to toss a vote to the third party over.

I think this whole thing is weird, three candidates, all women, very last minute shenanigans…

I will not be surprised is the Democrat woman wins.

I can’t figure why Trump threw his support behind Graham’s sister like he did. That was a big push.

Andrews has no chance. She couldn't beat Nancy Mace in the Charleston area for that Congressional seat. She'll get a ton of votes in Richland County, the lion's share in the rural black counties and a sizeable amount in Charleston. Graham will run it up on the coast, the Charlotte suburbs, the Columbia suburbs, Aiken and the Upstate.

It might be as simple as a guaranteed yes (wo)man for the remainder of his term… problem is what is she after his term is complete?

I think he also misjudged SC’s desire for her… her margin of victory is easily explained by Democrat voters in our open primary.

She will look like a frikkin dunce in a two or three way debate- this has got backfire written all over it.

I hope you’re right. I do worry about the Libertarian vote splitter- this isn’t a simple two way race.

The one who just died was a woman. I think Linda was her name.

My thought as well. No one even heard of his sister before he died.

Because Norman supported Haley in the 23 primary.

Heard Norman endorsed Mickey Haley in the run for president. Apparently the don doesn’t ask for a favor, a second time

I don't know.

It's a lot of things adding up just so that makes me suspicious.

Come January, it'll be a "historic first"... no white men representing SC in the senate.

Darline will this one but she won’t be the Republican nominee in 6 years.

90% of Annie’s support is from people who weren’t born in SC or don’t even live here now

She can hang out with Mississippi’s female Senator, she is dumb as a fricking brick, they rarely let her speak in public and you will never see her debating anyone. But she does exactly as she is told and that’s what they wanted.
