State House Rep Dennis Moss switched parties and is now a Republican. According to Moss, "I came to this decision after weeks of soul-searching and consulting with my family and friends,” Rep. Moss said. “This is not a decision I made lightly, but as my State House voting record indicates, I find myself siding with Republicans on the issues important to my constituents." According to House Majority Leader Bingham, “Last month’s election and today’s announcement gives Cherokee County a seat at the table in Columbia it hasn’t had in more than two decades,” said the Majority Leader . “This shows that the Republican Party is alive and well in South Carolina and talk of a Democrat takeover is little more than chest-thumping rhetoric.” Moss represents the conservative districts of Cherokee, Chester and York Counties.
Is the majority leader right when he states that talk of a Democrat takeover is little more than "chest-thumping rhetoric"? The South Carolina Democrats still have a chance to win elections but they must run in the center. If they can recruit candidates that can speak on the local facts and not dwell on national policy, then the tide will turn. Dems will also have to look within the party to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
What do you think? Do you think that SC Democrats are in trouble.

Hi Doug,
I am sitting here thinking about our area. I have been told that many GOPs have moved into the area, but I do not think this just happened! Many who run on the
Democratic ticket have been with the GOPs for a long time.
After being a delegate to SC Democratic Party Convention this year and years before, I wonder who is who? The list from this county held many names and only seven showed? What does that say about us? (Smile) I have asked for responsible
persons names and get the same old thing. Are you going to stir us up!!!
No, we don't have trouble! We are going to win!!! Keep the momentum going!!!
