Revised post now that I have a link and the actual numbers.

It was a poll conducted for the Gowdy campaign by Ayres, McHenry & Associates that I saw being reported on by WYFF on their 5pm newscast.

300 Likely Republican primary voters (MOE: ±5.66%)

Primary:
Gowdy: 37%
Inglis: 32%
Thomas: 8%
Jeffery: 7%
Lee: 6%
undecided: 10%

Gowdy / Inglis runoff:
Gowdy: 54%
Inglis: 38%
undecided: 8%

Both Gowdy and Inglis have identical favorable ratings of 56%, but only 10% had an unfavorable view of Gowdy, while 38% viewed Inglis unfavorability.

Even with all the caveats of campaign polls, and the MoE from a small sample, it's clear that it will be a Gowdy/Inglis runoff and that unless Inglis can mount one heck of a comeback, Inglis is done.

That's what happens in today's Republican party if you cross Glenn Beck.

Why do you want your party to go even further off Beckified the deep end?

He's just made some disturbing comments, specifically about the Mormon church. I don't know who his opponent is, but I don't want this guy back in the House, even if it means supporting a Democrat.

The only comment concerning Mormonism I know of from Inglis is a blunt truth he told Romney back in 2007, that a lot of people in these parts do not accept that Mormons are Christians because they hold texts not found in the Bible to be holy scripture.

That is the only comment he's made regarding Mormonism. I really don't see it as an insult to the Mormon Church.

He is inferring that Mormonism is not Christianity. That is clearly insulting to Mormons as they classify themselves as Christians. If you knew anything about Mormonism you would have known that.

Look at this part specifically. What Inglis is trying to say is that many people in South Carolina do not consider Mormons part of the Christian Faith. He's rightfully asserting that if Romney claimed to be a christian, the Evanfascist pastors would be in an uproar about it. He's right, South Carolinians generally do not have a very positive opinion of Mormonism. He's attempting to give Romney advice.

And about my knowledge of Mormonism, I generally don't know very much and don't care very much. All I know that it's pretty recently that Mormons wanted to consider themselves part of the Christian faith. Smith certainly didn't consider himself a Christian.

Maybe he was just trying to give helpful advice. But the way he worded it was very wrong and made it sound like he also didn't feel like Mormons were also Christians. I have actually discussed this with a couple Mormon friends, and while they weren't mad about the statements, they do think the way he said it made it seem like he didn't think Mormon's were Christians.

I don't really know what the litmus test for being considered a Christian is, but Mormonism does disagree with several major central ideas to the Christian Faith. For example, The Mormon Faith believes that God was once a mortal human before he became God. Christians believe that God has always been God. Christianity infers that the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit and whatnot) were all one, while Mormonism infers the opposite, and that they were all separate gods.  Pretty major differences if you ask me.

So, under what category of faith, parallel to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hindusim, etc., would Mormons fit under?

Seems like they themselves call themselves Christian, go to Church, and praise Jesus, it takes a pretty high ground to accuse them of not being Christian at all.

Blah, is religion really the reason why this guy is running behind? Maybe it's because he voted with the Democrats to scold fellow SC congressman Joe "You lie" Wilson; what a traitor.

My representative voted with the Dems, too, on that one. Go Jo.

That along with telling people to turn off Beck is the reason why he is losing.   You don't dare cross the hateful right.

Inglis is one of the good guys in Congress. I hope he isn't primaried out for one of the tea-partiers/Beckites.
