DeMint Comes Out for Shealy
U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint has endorsed Katrina Shealy over Jake Knotts for a Lexington County state Senate seat, weighing in on a race that has divided local, state and federal politicos.
DeMint’s endorsement follows that of Gov. Mark Sanford. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson has appeared in television commercials endorsing Knotts, while U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham told House and Senate incumbents earlier this year that he would support their campaigns.
Nice. Very nice. Shealy must win this race. That is a shot in the arm this state needs.
This is the difference between politicians like Sanford and DeMint and politicians like Wilson and Graham. Sanford and DeMint stand on their principles. Wilson and Graham are party hacks.
