Democrat congressional candidate Rob Miller’s attempts to earn the public trust aren’t going over too well in the Second District of South Carolina. He’s currently mired in a war of words with his own supporters, trying to blame local Democrat Party activists for his campaign’s decision to hide the MoveOn.org-backed candidate from the media. On February 18th, Miller spoke to the Greater Irmo Democratic Club. NBC affiliate WIS-TV reported then that Miller’s campaign kicked out the station’s photographer when the event began. <object width=”480″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/FiPVmqSrgfM&hl=en_US&fs=1&”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/FiPVmqSrgfM&hl=en_US&fs=1&” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”385″></embed></object>XX Last night on WIS-TV’s 11pm newscast (see attached video
Columbia, S.C. The South Carolina Republican Party today issued the following statement upon news that liberal lobbyist Dwight Drake has ended his bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Drake’s announcement was hot on the heels of trial lawyer Mullins McLeod ending his bid, which itself happened not long after yet another liberal trial lawyer, Chad McGowan, ended his challenge to Senator Jim DeMint: “Democrats are dropping out of statewide races almost as fast as the Obama Administration is racking up debt, and that’s no easy feat to accomplish,” SCGOP Executive Director Joel Sawyer said. “The reason is simple – like their big-spending counterparts in Washington, the only ‘solution’ Democrats are

Columbia, SC – February 24, 2010 – Democratic Congressional candidate Rob Miller has been busy, but not in the Second Congressional District where he’s running.

Tonight, he’s back in the national capital with arch-liberal Nancy Pelosi at yet another leftist meet and greet. National liberal leaders Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, James Clyburn, and others hosted a “Meet Our 2010 Candidates” reception at the DNC Headquarters tonight, which Miller is attending. Today, S.C.

Do they stand for liberal, debt-loaded solutions pushed by the president,
