South Carolina - It's not crazy anymore.  By David Plotz
A 2000 Slate article about South Carolina, claiming we are not as bad as the nation thinks we are.

Wow. Now if I can only persuade approximately 110,000 South Carolinians to switch their presidential votes to Democratic or 221,000 NEW voters to vote Democratic, maybe we'll really have something to brag about down here. At least we consistently elect the wonderful John Spratt to the House of Representatives.
