South Carolina Democrats Appear to Have Nominated a Republican for U.S. Senate

South Carolina held its primary (for all office other than president) on June 10. The Democratic U.S. Senate primary was won by Bob Conley. Now it has been revealed that Conley was on the Horry County Republican Committee, and that he voted in the Republican presidential primary earlier in the year. News reports say he voted for Ron Paul. See this story. South Carolina doesn’t have registration by party, so it isn’t always easy to pin down anyone’s party membership. Thanks to Jack Ross for this story.

  1. On searching around, either there’s a separate Robert M. Conley who is a Kosciusko County Commissioner (as a Republican) or Commissioner Conley is candidate Conley’s father.

    Newsmeat shows a donation by Conley the candidate to Bob Smith’s 2000 Presidential candidacy.

  2. I will just be happy to have someone for whom to vote in November other than Lindsey. I’m sick of his superior attitude and lack of attention to the people of SC… That goes for McCain, too. I could never vote for Obama…Too liberal for me. But I can just not vote.
