State newspaper's election blues, with glimmer of hope for Democrats

Could the GOP oust some powerful Democrats,
even in liberal-soaked strongholds?  

The State newspaper ran a story earlier this week, and then kind of buried it.

It was written by liberal reporter Cassie Cope.

The story is entitled: “Early voting numbers suggest SC Democrats face tough Tuesday”

It is an effort to give readers an idea of how Tuesday's election will come out.

In reporting that about the same number of absentee ballots have been cast as Wednesday, as were cast in 2010, The State bemoaned it: “could be bad news for S.C. Democrats.”

The State – used a high-ranking Democrat official as a source, said Democrats: “have been focusing their long-shot efforts of unseating Republican Gov. Nikki Haley and other GOP officeholders on increasing voter turnout, particularly among black voters, who form the base of the S.C. Party.”

With the early data, it does not look like the Democrat Party has been successful.

The State did express some hope and said: “South Carolina’s political underdogs still have a chance if the increased number of registered voters in the state this year — 250,000 more than four years ago — translates into more ballots cast at the polls Tuesday.”

The State then went downhill on its emotional, leftwing roller-coaster, stream-of-thought bender.

Again injecting race, it said: “Historically, the African-American base of the Democratic Party also has not turned out in midterm elections. Midterm elections draw “older and whiter voters,” an analyst said. “And that usually helps Republicans.”

However, the Democrat official said African-American voters are casting ballots more often in non-presidential elections....before the roller-coaster came to a stop.
