Do voters in the Palmetto state really care about this? If so, I find that odd.
I mean, female candidates being accused of having an affair isn't common enough for political junkies to have much familiarity with the subject...especially when it's so obviously baseless.
Didn't what's-her-face down in Oklahoma admit to an affair or something? Mary Fallin? And she's probably going to be Oklahoma's next governor. Not that familiar with Fallin, and I don't care to research it any further, but just passing on my usual insider BS rumors.
I calls it like I sees it, despite wallowing in my own gossip, I never heard more than one ounce credible to the Nikki stuff. The less than one ounce I heard that remotely sounded persuadable was that some of her friends, reportedly, said they "wouldn't be surprised" if it were true.
Nikki Haley is the newest Indian-American Southern Republican governor in a state famous for its racist discrimination! HOW WEIRD. Anyway, onward ho!
Before Obama, I had voiced the opinion that I thought the next non-white President would be a Republican Hispanic, as I had thought a national election between a Democratic minority to a Republican white to be less favorable towards the odds than a Democratic white to a Republican minority, as the former could play more on stereotypes, but I was obviously wrong. And who even knew that Indian-Americans could make such an impact in such areas! I mean, I know some Indian-Americans were tied up in the Blagojevich stuff, there's some stuff going on in Kansas, and one lost in Minnesota last year in a race she shouldn't have lost, but South Carolina & Louisiana? Who'd a thunk.
Maybe we junkies don't "get it" like we though we did. I used to have great hopes for Nikki profiteering off of the Sanford machine, but three that all out the window after the "Appalachian Trail" -- but not only did she weather that, but she weathered similar accusations against herself and running against TWO statewide officials with tons of influential players behind them, and one DC Congressman with national support (like Cheney) behind him ... and got
49% ... which would be incredible for like, Jim DeMint running in this race against such opponents, let alone a mere Indian-American State Representative!
Holy cow!
