South Carolina

Even Politico has noticed that Strom Thurmond's state is a little....different.

Of course, the real issue goes unstated, other than this sentence:


The state has a long history of stridency in national politics, having produced legendary opposition figures from Vice President John C. Calhoun, who helped pave the way for the Civil War, to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, who filibustered historic civil rights legislation.


Congressman Wilson, of course, has his own proud history.
