SC Blogger Claims Affair With Candidate

[ccharles000]

It's not often that admitting an affair is seen as a smart political move, but one SC blogger is claiming an improper relationship with a candidate -- one he hopes wins the GOP GOV primary.

Prominent conservative blogger Will Folks, who backs state Rep. Nikki Haley (R) in the state's competitive primary, wrote on his blog this morning that he and Haley have had an affair, and that he wants to admit it to deprive Haley's rivals of a weapon just as Haley catches fire.

"I refuse to have someone hold the political equivalent of a switch-blade in front of my face and just sit there and watch as they cut me to pieces," Folks wrote. "The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki."

Folks refused to discuss details of the affair, beyond offering apologies to Haley's family and his own wife (The affair occured before Folks was married, he says). But Haley, running as a social conservative, is vehemently denying Folks' assertion.
