Conley Slams Party for Weak Support
Conley, who supported Republican Ron Paul in January’s GOP presidential primary, said Clyburn’s comments make “it clear that the Democratic Party, at least in South Carolina, is controlled by the far left who feel no need to be inclusive when they’ve got a liberal Republican like Graham apparently on their side.”
While Clyburn and Graham didn’t respond to Conley’s statement, the criticism surprised state Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler.
“South Carolina Democrats and the party’s leadership do not support Lindsey Graham,” Fowler said Thursday in a phone interview from the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
You don’t???
Last year, Joe Erwin of Greenville, immediate past chairman of the S.C. Democratic Party, was asked what Democrat might challenge Graham in 2008. Erwin doubted anyone would.
“We already have our best Democrat up there in Lindsey,” Erwin quipped.
Naughty, naughty.
