“South Car­o­lina is used to play­ing second-fiddle to the first two states on the nom­in­at­ing cal­en­dar, Iowa and New Hamp­shire, where pres­id­en­tial can­did­ates have flocked re­peatedly this cycle. Still, the lack of time and re­sources Demo­crat­ic con­tenders have in­ves­ted in South Car­o­lina so far this cycle has some loc­als scratch­ing their heads.”
