South Carolina lacks the authority to conduct a 2012 presidential primary
Holy cow. Not a primary at all? Thank God Florida moved up their primary or we seriously would have blue states picking our candidate. If South Carolina drops out of the primary season it would not be good. What is the governor doing about this. She should be all over the media exposing this and coming up with conclusions for correcting this. She has been too quite lately anyway.
Somewhere, hidden from all of us, are panicked Establishment Republicans.
Somehow I feel this is designed to hurt Cain.
Oh Geez....Great. The state is broke so I may not get a choice in the Presidential Race......Some Freeper vote Herman Cain for me...LOL
So let me see if I understand this correctly. A lawsuit was filed. The Supreme Court is not going to hear the case. So it is, shall we say, a moot point. Or would that be mute? ;-)
Not having a primary is not going to go over well
Was SC one of the states that recently changed their date?

So this thread is much ado about nothing?
“Somewhere, hidden from all of us, are panicked Establishment Republicans.”
Right on the money. This has their finger prints all over it. If they can get enough of the Thurston Howell/Karl Rove votes before the southern primaries, they and the complicit media can declare Mittens the winner before it begins.
I never thought I would see the day when the party I’ve been loyal to, held my nose and voted for, would stoop to the level of Democrats. Not to mention the all out assault they have waged on FR the last couple of weeks.
Aside from abortion, taxes, and immigration have been the driving positions we wanted from a candidate, and the only candidate even addressing these issues in this election is being attacked, not by others with better ideas, but by people arguing that we shouldn’t do anything about them. For me that certainly exposes their agenda.
It’s no wonder we got McLame last time.
I have a serious question. I was going to write a vanity post about it, but I figured I’d get flamed because I’m sure it’s been brought up before, but here goes:
If the Republican establishment sabotages us bad enough, and the Democrats wreak enough havoc on our primary process to give us Mitens against the popular will of the Conservative voters, can the delegates walk into the convention and change the presumed nominee. Isn’t it the delegates vote that counts in the end?
It would be great fun watching liberal heads explode right there on live TV.
Somehow, these counties didn’t mind when they were paying for the Hillary-Obama primary in 2008 . . . .
I agree. The parties should each hold and fund their own primary with their own members only.
oh what the hell...we don’t need primaries, those things are only good for liberal states!? Stupid idiots!

“... can the delegates walk into the convention and change the presumed nominee...”
YES!
Rush has talked about that in the past. While that can happen in theory, in his opinion it will never happen in reality.
“The Supreme Court has not decided to hear the case”. Hey Friend, you need to read this three times like I needed too. The Court has not decided, to or not to, hear the case. This was written to fool the reader, or just a piss pour AP writer. ;0)
