Could SC-05 be a surprise victory??

[marylandblue]

Somebody who knows more about this district than, please tell me. I took a look at the Sec of State site. Right now it says


Parnell - 16,531
Norman - 16,198

Ballots cast - 34,409

So with only 1800 votes left to count, Parnell has a lead of 330 votes. Could he really win this sleeper? Am I missing something?

1. I sure hope so...

[Ilsa]

2. That would be huge.

My understanding is that no dnc money was sent there.

5. Maddow said Donald won that district by 18 points in Nov.

10. Parnell is a rich former Banker. He likely did not need money sent.

The fact that he is a successful Banker likely give true traditional pause in voting for the other guy.

3. Something going on there!

4. No

Although it looks like it could be closer than it should be Parnell down 4% with 57% in.

6. Not going to happen

but Parnell only down 2% with 63% in. Will not happen,but if it does it would be a serious shocker.

7. sorry, but likely it's hopeless....of course, I remember Richard Riley as 2 term Gov. in SC

so the democrats can win there if they GOTV, and do something about the gerrymandering.

[nikibatts]

8. No.

[Tiggeroshii]

9. We will lose quite narrowly

It is one of those districts where if Democrats put money into it, we could have won. But democrats as a party pretty much ignored it completely

11. SC-5 was John Spratt's old for 3 decades(1980's,1990's,and 2000's) Mick Mulvaney held it for the

1st 1/2 of the 2010's
SC-5 could be a Democratic pickup.

12. It's over, Republican win
