South Carolina Republican: First and foremost, congratulations are in order for our candidates and their staffs that celebrated their well-deserved victories Tuesday night. Your vigorous campaigning for conservative solutions and values helped facilitate the largest turnout amongst voters in nearly twenty years. We are proud and excited to have each one of you in our ranks and wish luck to those who are preparing for the upcoming runoff. As we eagerly anticipate the final formation of our ticket in just two weeks, we must also begin unifying our state party in preparation for one of the most important fall elections
Political pundits keep asking — are we in an anti-incumbent or an anti-Democrat year? I think we are in an anti-status quo year. It could include Republicans, Democrats or incumbents who believe we should keep doing things they way they’ve always been done. We have to accept the premise that Republicans were in charge when things started declining, and that’s because too many Republicans put their faith in government instead of people. We have to get back to the roots of conservatism and demand that our elected officials stay true to our conservative Republican platform. Nationally, we’ve seen what happens
Straw poll to be held Columbia, SC – April 15, 2010 – Famed Republican strategist, author, and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove will be the keynote speaker at the South Carolina Republican Party’s 43rd Annual Silver Elephant Dinner. During the Silver Elephant, the SCGOP will also be conducting a “straw poll” among attendees to gauge their preference for each of the six statewide constitutional offices with a primary – Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Treasurer, Comptroller General, and Superintendent of Education. Rove, nicknamed “The Architect,” has a long history of running winning races for Republicans, most
Hello conservative friends. We have a lot going on this week so let me dive right in. I’ve been burning up the roads, and the phones, attending as many GOP events as possible while raising much-needed funds for the November election. This weekend I visited the North Myrtle Beach Republican Club and Mrs. Cleo Steele for their 10 year anniversary. I then rushed back to Spartanburg to attend the wedding of Ladonna Rygg’s daughter. On Sunday night the boys had 7 of their teenage friends over to watch the Super Bowl. There’s never a dull moment. By now you’ve probably
Someone directed my attention towards this video today, I enjoyed it and thought that everyone should take a few minutes and view it.

This year South Carolina voters will choose a new Governor to lead our state during extremely trying times. It’s important that we choose a Governor with conservative ideals and a vision to move our state forward toward economic prosperity and freedom. This is not a decision that any of us should take lightly as our actions will impact every family in this state for years to come.
It’s hard to imagine, but its true. We have a chance to pick up a United States Senate — in Massachusettes, of all places! Republican Scott Brown is close to winning in one of the bluest of the blue states. Voters everywhere are realizing that a government takeover of our health care system will break the bank and cost our nation even more jobs. This one is going to be very, very close. Republicans around the country are organizing and now South Carolina can do its part. I need you to help out today by calling voters in Massachusetts and
I’m writing today is to give you a quick update on our web operation. You probably know by now that we’ve been putting a lot of emphasis on revamping our online presence because we know the web will be vital in this year’s election. When you talk about the Internet, most folks just think about websites. But our web operation will span far past just the website you will find at www.sc.gop.

The voice for conservative government took a major blow in 2008 with the election of a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the US Senate.
