so your premise is everybody who did not vote for Scott in primary was racist?
Where did you get that impression?
And my apologies, I was reading up on his House of Reps elections.
Scott was appointed, not elected to the Senate
quote:
On December 17, 2012, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley announced she would appoint Scott to replace retiring Senator Jim DeMint
So he got the advantage of running as an incumbent before ever winning the office

ok, but he still only 1 of 2 black senators in the country, and only a small percentage of black voters even vote GOP.
Dem party did not run somebody against him b/c they knew GOP, mostly white voters, would vote for him.
he ran for re-electon after his first term tho.
i don't really understand what your point is. the fact that a female indian Republican governor appointed him makes my general point as well. SC doesn't have the same stigma as Bama, which i don't think is fair but it exists.
