Sometimes You Can't Make This Stuff Up

I've done a few posts on South Carolina politics since this blog started but I'm thinking I'm going to have to retire the Palmetto State altogether. I just can't figure the place out. Aside from the total wackiness of the governor's race as well as the Democratic Senate nomination, tonight's runoff in the 1st congressional district on the Republican side adds another chapter to the state's recent run of bizarro politics. See if your head doesn't explode after reading through this.
