Even though Pansey took Strom’s seat he is really our new Hollings—DeMint got Fritz’s seat but he is really our new Thurmond.
Seems the Palmetto State is cursed to perpetuate the nearly 40 year history of Strom and Fritz liberal/conservative dualism in the US Senate.
No, ol’ Strom had started moving leftward when he backed D.C. statehood c. 1981.
