By a decent upstanding potential public servant?... I'd bet my last dollar that ain't going to happen in SC.

he's a bit safer now that Jim Demint's seat will be up at the same time as him however.

and do little else.. and then WIN.. Since BOTH seats are up in '14, He could probably file for BOTH. Wouldn't it be a "Choose TWO" ,,with the top two winning?

His own party here has been wanting to get rid of him for a couple of years now. He's "not conservative enough", believe it or not. Some teabagger type will probably primary him. Either way, it's going to split the GOP, and if the Dems put up the right candidate, we stand a chance of getting Fritz Holling's seat back.

Don't know by who yet. He was lucky not to be up for election before now and he knows it.
