Gov. Nikki Haley (SC) is having an arena-sized prayer rally in June

http://theresponsesc.com/
Apparently, Perry had one before announcing in '12 and Jindal had one earlier this year. In a shocker, it's sponsored by the American Family Association. http://www.theneworleansadvocate.com/news/11119534-123/emails-show-lsu-board-member
Ads for Nikki's are all over the radio here and possibly TV. (I don't watch much.) Between her and Lindsey, I almost feel like announcing that I will be the South Carolinian NOT running for president next year.

She'd split the Indian-American repuke vote with Booby Jindal. Based on my experience out here in CA, that vote is likely to be very tiny.

even before learning that he had had his own, since he's the first video at the website. Glad to say I'll be unlikely to attend unless I can get dressing in drag down by then. Hey, it's a thought!

She and Piyush "Bobby" Jindal are both scam artists who are nothing but pandering fakes.

The essence of the GOP and the idiots who vote for them without question.

In anything other than a racially tinged attack. There is plenty to criticize these two bozos about, I find this line beyond bizarre.

I'm just illustrating how dumb their base is and how fake these two are.

Both clutching a bible and and an American flag. Do you think their base would have voted for Nimrata or Piyush?

How about Barack?

The same individuals who consistently included (and often stressed) 'Hussein' in Pres. Obama's name ("what? it's his name!&quot are now receiving the same from me in regards to Piyush Jindal and Raphael Cruz. I have reduced myself to returning petulance in kind-- but their reactions almost make my reduction worth it.

So after careful consideration, Dick Cheney will have to step in and declare that he is the only one qualified to be the GOP nominee.

1) Woman? Check!

2) Strong regionally? Check!

3) "Executive experience"? Check!

4) Lining up the evangelicals? Clearly working on that.

His only hope is to win SC's early primary. If Nikki jumps in and splits the favorite son/daughter vote, he's toast.
