#1 This past Tuesday represents a New Day in South Carolina politics. A conservative, Bible-belt state known for its past resistance to civil rights and its current lack of women in elected office (ranked 50th on this front) strongly supported an Indian-American woman for the states highest office and an African-American man for an overwhelmingly white Congressional district. Even more interesting in both cases these candidates were chosen by the Republican primary voters over white men representing the epitome of the South Carolina good-ole boy establishment.

There goes the donk argument that all is motivated by racism or sexism.
