Obviously she has been handling herself well with her husband's scandal, and has gotten a load of positive publicity. She has executive experience, and ran her husband's election campaigns, so I think she could find support in the Republican Primary. What do you all think?

I didn't necessarily say she would win, she just seems like an interesting candidate compared to the names listed.

That's all right, I just don't think that she could even become a candidate.

She could run for South Carolina Governor, but not for president until after winning that and serving a term or two.

Yeah, she should def run for governor or senate.  Put a real woman there instead of Lindsay.

Primary Graham!!!  She'd beat him like a drum.  It'd be equivalent to Murkowski v. Palin in 2006.

By 2014 when Graham next runs, any political cachet Jenny might have will have faded unless she does something bold such as entering the Comptroller General race against Eckstrom this year.  She'd have a realistic shot of winning the primary and whoever has an R beside their name will win that race in November.

Widows as candidates? That happens all the time. Jilted spouses? That would be new.

She's never held elected office....

It's too late for her to get in the governor's race, and I don't know when a senate seat will become available. She'll be old news by the time she can get any experience.

Not if she can help Nikki Halley get elected.

Politically it is too late, but the filing period doesn't begin until the middle of March.  That said, Treasurer or Comptroller General would be a better choice if she were of a mind to try, not that I think she would be.
