She’s a real tiger; I like that about her. But she needs a bit more national political savvy. She was a just a state rep before becoming governor and sometimes it shows. If she would expand her horizons a little, she’d realize that the rest of the country does not want to look like South Carolina, to put it bluntly, nor should it. And I say that as someone who lives in South Carolina. Let’s be honest; this is one of the poorer states.

I would be interested in what constitutes "national political savvy" in your mind. Seems to me that the governor of a critical early primary state is going to get a very quick tutorial and her core beliefs and instincts are correct as far as I can tell.
