Just in case you want to get the lay of the land of SC’s 2nd<\/sup> Congressional district, I checked out recent electoral history for the district<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, it’s a tough row to hoe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Though the best performance against Wilson to date was Rob Miller’s loss by 8%, so it is entirely reasonable to consider this race to be competitive, particularly since Miller has raised about $\u00be million, $733,608.00 on Act Blue<\/a> alone at the time of this post (below break), and Mr. Miller has name recognition from his last run, and he has generated a lot<\/b> of buzz in the past 36 hours or so.<\/p>\n
